Growing up I was always fascinated by the wood models uncle Jim built. I have fond memories of the visits to my grandparents' home and cottage, and hours spent marvelling at the ships on the wall and planes on the ceiling. I'm very grateful for the time he spent to teach me how to build. Sincere sympathies to Kirsten and family. - Posted by: Michael Haip (Nephew) on: Aug 14, 2012
