Jim was my first and my second cousin. We shared some good times playing together as youngsters. A shame that we didn't have much contact in our later years.

I have fond memories of Jim as he was one of my first friends when I came to teach in Culpeper in 1991. Jim and Cindy even helped me move once- that's real friendship! Jim was also instrumental in helping me teach at-risk students; he had a knack for relating to those kids. My condolences to Cindy and to Jim's children and grandchildren at this sad time.
