Patty & Jim sacrificed the luxury of many material things over the years in order for Patty to be able stay home with their children, which was a priority for both of them. Together, Patty & Jim, raised two amazing children, a son & a daughter, whom they were both so very proud of. Their children will tell you that this banter of their love story went on throughout the years with a twinkle in both of their eyes as they would each tell their version of the story. They had many friends in common along the way, but, they both said they were not fond of one another, or, were they? They started dating after they were “forced” to stand up together in a friend’s wedding in 1969. Patty always said he used to throw rocks at her when they were kids & Jim always said she thought she was better than him. As their love story goes, they grew up in the same neighborhood & knew each other since they were children. On October 17, 1970, Patty married the love of her life, James (Jim) R.
