Dear Mrs. Bolan and Family,
We were so sad to hear of the passing of Jim this week
He was a groomsman in our wedding during the blizzard of '77. Seeing the need , Jim so gallantly and quietly called to have the parking lot at St. Anthony's plowed.
What a classy guy he was !
Love and prayers. , Cathy Jo and Scott Eyer
