They Did Everything Together

It’s taken a few days for me to grasp this reality. The memories I have with Jim and Sam cannot possibly be explained in one post on here. The times we have shared as family friends, sports teammates, and overall best friends for as long as I can remember has shaped me into the man I am today. The times we spent running from house to house on Halloween, to the time we pool hopped 15 different houses(in our baseball uniforms with out last names on the back), Aruba vacations, to the countless weekend sporting events ending up with a bbq in the Shuarts backyard. Jim and Sam were the absolute center of laughter through it all. Seeing Tom, Joann, Jack, and Molly hurting was one of the hardest things I’ve had to do so far in my life. Jim and Sam never brought anything but happiness and laughter into my life. That seems to be a common theme on this thread, the amount of people Jim and Sam have touched speaks so much towards their character. I will never forget the times I have shared with Jim and Sam, and I am better for it. Tom, Joann, Jack and Molly I am so sorry. I just hope how much joy they brought to this world brings you some comfort. Love Always Joe Riccie
