Thanks to so many who have left messages or shared stories about their remembrances of Jim.

 

I found a saying in a fortune cookie that I believe makes a great point.

The saying goes: “A difference – to be a Difference – must make a Difference”.

 

My best friend – James Edward Dushatinski made a difference.

 

I will miss you terribly Jim. I will have to find someone else to crab about the Giants and Yankees to.

 

And to Lulinne, Carly, and Brian – you will be forever in my thoughts, prayers and heart.

 

The true wealth of a person is measured not by their material assets – but by the number of friends they keep and who keep them.
