When my fiance broke off our wedding and broke my heart, Jim was my counselor and would coach me on how to win her back. I would swell with confidence.

When I was an awkward adult and unsure of myself, Jim would see me, light up, put his arms around me and squeeze. He would talk to me through his eyes - that he was proud of me and liked me. I would swell with confidence. 

I loved you Jim. You gave me far more than I ever gave back. I'll miss you my friend.
