Sorry to hear of Jim's passing.A life long loyal friend. What good times we had as kids. Clare Reeves, Jim Mahar, Dick Koerner, Jim & myself.What fun we had going to Cub Games together.Living out west, I didn't get to see him often, usually at a wake, it seemed. A friendly , caring person, and I don't think he had a mean bone in his body.Enjoy your Heavenly home, Old Friend. We WILL Meet again.Peace to your family.
