I met Jim in January 2012 at a tourism event in Sacramento and we became instant friends. He was instrumental in helping my tour business grow with his suggestions, introductions and words of encouragement. He always talked so lovingly of his daughter Molly. I am saddened to hear of his passing but pray for his eternal peace. Sending my thoughts and prayers to Jim's family and friends. With warm regards,
