My sympathies to Jim's family. He was a good guy. All those years ago, Jim and I worked together at the Ol' itch factory. Jim's wry sense of humor and friendly attitude was helpful in allowing Me to stand the place as we were both young. He was instrumental in my ability to retire from Owens with 41 years of service. Thanks Jim, I needed that!
