For eighty years, Jim has been my longest friend, a splendid person, my classmate from kindergarten through law school and beyond. We participated in each other's weddings, shared each other's homes, played together in a band, played touch football and appreciated each other's children. My world is a little more shrunk without his voice on the phone and his notes. Like all his relatives and friends, I cherish his memory.
