Last Wendnesday, our familes were dealt a blow of unexplained proportions when James ("Jim") Ruddy was tragically killed in an automobile accident.  Jim left behind my two nephews with my sister Kim, Dylan (13 years old) and Forest (10 years old), as well as his 3 month old son Liam with his new wife Stephanie.  The funds would be used for the future care of the boys going forward.
