Jim and I were in the same class in Arlington schools, and graduated together. I remember him as very kind, thoughtful of others, never put people down, serious---but also had a fun side to him. I think I only saw him once or twice after graduating, but have never forgotten what a nice person he was. Apparently that trait was carried out throughout his life, given the many testimonies given by family and friends at the memorial service. I'm so sorry for your loss. May God comfort and bless you through this time of sorrow.
