Love ya brother! Miss ya! RIP and will see you and Howard and mom and dad and the rest of our family whenever the Lord calls me Home. Thanks for being a friend as well as my big brother.
Jim was like an uncle to me and my wife Kate. He was also like a grandpa to my son, Tyler. Jim welcomed us “Cincinnatians” into the family when we moved to Cleveland about 12 years ago. It was truly an honor to spend so many wonderful holidays with he and the entire Teare family, including the many great outdoor summer cookouts at his and Nancy’s beloved home in Madison. Don’t worry Uncle Jim, I will never stop wearing my “Chief Wahoo” Indians hat and I will think of you every time I put it on. Sending all of our love….
