Sending heartfelt condolences to Jim's family. He was a wonderful man with much integrity, wit and concern for his family, employees and community. His concern for social justice issues was admired. We often talked about politics, his love of cars and WMU. I will miss him. Gone too soon!
Rest In Peace my friend. You have earned it.
