Ivy James Starks Tribute

I remember calling Jim just this past December in a panic because the company we hired to put a new roof on our home called and wanted to come out the next day to do the work. What? Can you put a new roof on in the winter...with snow....will the shingles even lay flat or stick or do whatever it is they are suppose to do? Who can I call and find out if this is okay or not? My big brother-in-law, Jim, that's who. And yes, Jim said that you can roof in the middle of winter. And yes, they came out the next day and replaced our roof...because Jim said it was okay. I miss his wisdom, his guidance, his smile. I miss him. I miss his chuckle...a deep, throaty chuckle. I can close my eyes and think about it and still hear it. I hope I can always hear it.
