Jim loved learning to ski alongside his children. “He really didn’t like to do something with the kids where he was already good at it, because he didn’t have the patience of them not knowing anything,” said Jane. “So his approach to skiing was, ‘I have never skied, so I’m going to learn to ski with the kids.’ ” The kids loved it, too; part of the fun was having their father struggling and laughing right next to them. “We were all about the same level,” said Brian, “which was fun.”
