I knew Jim since 1970 when we were in Eng. 278. We also had a little painting bus.on the side. The last time I saw Jim was at our E-278/40 Batt. reunion 2 years ago. At that time I gave him a DVD that goes back to when his kids were almost babies.
I can go on and on but I can't put it in words the sorry and pain that I feel now!
Blessing to Rose and family.
Agape.....
