Rick Patterson
To Estelle and family:I was out of state when I learned of Jim's passing and regret I could not make it down to Ft. Myers for the services. I just returned to Orlando late last night.Jim was a friend and mentor to me in my early FALU days and we sat together at the head table at all the quarterly board meetings in Tampa. We were very good at misbehaving at the head table while maintaining a certain decorum in front of everyone.We had more than our share of laughs, jokes and stories and i will remember him fondly for the good times we had together during those FALU years.My condolences to you all and i send my warmest regards, Jim will be missed by many.Richard D.
