    In this time of grief and pain, know that he will be remembered with stories and laughter. He was a good man, and a good brother to my dad. With him this holiday season we will remember him. For Jim’s family, my dad (Jack Cleve) and his brothers and sisters, know he walks in the path of happiness with love and family surrounding him now.
