James "Jim" David Countryman


I sense a shift in the world - it seems smaller - like big thoughts, outlandish ideas, crazy, fun projects have floated away and there’s no way for me to access them any more or certainly not to the extent they were available when Jim was among us in person making life a lot more interesting. I don’t know anyone else with that magnificent, fun, ebullient spirit. Just miss him a lot knowing he’s not out there dreaming up the next big venture/project/trip and always there with an exceedingly understanding ear. 😥
