I am so very sorry and sad to hear about Jim's passing. He was a friend to many and he will be greatly missed. He always was willing to listen and offer advice to sincerely help. He cared about people and from the stories he would tell, he went above and beyond to make sure things were done right and spent time getting to know people. He made a difference in this world. Rest In Peace Jim :)
