I have just learned of Jim's death and am sorry to hear that both he and his brother Howard are already gone. My sympathies to all the families. I was Jim's first wife and our marriage was not a success. It was a wise choice to divorce as Jim obviously was happy in his second marriage, as was I.
Again, my sympathies to all the families.
