Tribute to “Big Jim” Wade

Celebrating the life of Big Jim, who was in Rotary for 20 years. Big Jim, an intense University of Alabama fan, was a moving force behind the Encinitas Rotary Home Team,  which provides no-cost basic handyman services to community seniors.  Big Jim received the Encinitas Rotary Lifetime Achievement award just before passing.  He was a very unique person, whose demented sense of humor kept us rolling with laugher.  His “no filter” approach meant he would say the things we were all thinking.  Big Jim will be greatly missed.  Roll Tide!
