Since meeting Jim in 1968 when we worked together at Dominion Chevrolet, he became a good friend. Over the years I had the pleasure of working with Jim again on several occasions & will cherish the memories of an outstanding man. Of all the things Jim could be remembered for, it was his unqualified love for his children. He was truly a loving, supporting father who reveled in his children's accomplishments.

I will miss him.
