We are so sorry to hear of Jim´s passing. He had an infectious laugh and was a great story teller. We enjoyed our many gatherings at Marian´s. I remember him pulling in our driveway in his new Mustang and in his Marines uniform, very handsome! I was honored to help serve cake at Jim and Barb´s wedding. He will be missed by his family and friends.
Love, Charlotte and Paul
