I remember Jim from 54th St Elementary, Audubon Jr. High and Dorsey High. I remember him as a very kind, thoughtful and considerate guy. While I am saddened by his passing, I am delighted with all of the individuals he assisted during his 40 year career as an attorney at law. What a legacy! Gone too soon.
