Dear Jim and Steve, Jim Notaro Jr.
I share your loss. I truly believe your father is in a better place. I know there were many times as we were growing up that we tested him. I have great memories of your father, or "The Bat" as we called him. I think it was because of the shadow that he cast as he rode his bike, and the fact that he was always working in his study on the third floor of the house to all hours of the night. I remember that your house was always open to people who had nowhere else to go. It didn't take much to make your father happy for us kids. If we pitched in to help clean the pool or helped to clean up the house once in a while we were made to feel welcome. I wish I knew then that I was around someone of such greatness. I am glad that I had a chance to know your father and I feel in a way that he had a big impact on the way I view life.
