Jim aka JJ. Was a brilliant writer, artist, speaker and a very funny person. He had the courage of his convictions. He gave a speech on the American Nazi party marching in Illinois and supported their right to do so under the 1st amendment to the U.S. Constitution. He was a strong advocate of the freedom of speech. His speeches regarding this were ALWAYS passionate and full of fire. His whole demeanor reflected his emotion. Jim was the international best speaker in Toastmasters back in 1983. We will miss you Jim. My warmest love and compassion to his family. Nick

Jim and I were together and married 1969 to 1983. He called me "young stuff", as he was 15 years older than me. His personality filled a room, with a childlike charm and a love for life. I learned so much from him. I wish him all the very best wherever he is. Hopefully there's a New York Deli nearby. He will always have a special place in my heart.
