I’ll never forget when Scott and Mindy were my neighbors, and Jim was at their house watching the girls. I think they were on a work trip or something. Anyway, their dog, Angel had apparently gotten out at some point and was running around the neighborhood. This was never allowed because Angel was a pampered house dog and only went out into the fenced yard. I was able to get her to come to me and took her back to Scott and Mindy’s. Jim opened the door and when he saw me there holding Angel, he immediately said, “Oh no! Please don’t tell Mindy!” I started laughing and then he did too. I told him not to worry and that his secret was safe with me. I did tell Mindy that story and few years later, and of course she laughed too. Jim was always so kind and could also be quite humorous. He put everyone else above himself and didn’t have a selfish bone in his body. He will be so missed.
