    I will remember Uncle Jim with that huge smile on his face. I will also remember him as an extremely intelligent individual. I recall extended family vacations at Clays Park swimming in the recreational Lake where those of us children would be playfully tossed by the adults; Uncle Jim stood out as extremely strong and solid as a rock. Separately, I recall my Grandfather teasing Uncle Jim, and saying: "you only spending time teasing those people that you like". Uncle Jim was a wonderful individual and I wish peace for the Wissenbach family and everyone who loved him.
