Jim Attkisson was my brother-in-law, and brother-in-laws often get a bad rap.  Jim broke that mold. 

I admired his constancy, a step-up from consistency.   He was unflappable .  Although I never saw him in action, I certain he was exactly that, a man of action. 

Naturally, my bias was towards my sister and I saw the happiness he created for her over the years.  I had immense respect for him about that.

He was also one of the few people in the world who I would ask, "What should I do?"  His answers were always spot on.  

Thanks so much big guy and rest in the peace you earned and deserve.  But I am still telling you, UFO's do exist!  You probably already know that by now.  Much love.
