I'm thinking of you Kim, and holding you close in my thoughts. What a treasure Jim was for you, and you for him. Take easy care of yourself.

When I retired, Jim wrote a few short sentences for my send off as a friendly fantasy sharing my love of traveling and the Caribbean he wrote, "I was passing by a small Bodega in Havana and saw Brian E. sitting at the bar drinking Mojitos with 2 happy Latinas. I stopped in and shared a couple...before we all strode down the Malecon, seaside waves crashing against the breakwall we walked on...
I'll look for you on the Malecon, Jim. Thanks.

We will miss one of the Silver Seven that defeated the NWDO in hockey so many years ago at the BGSU Ice Arena
And who will remember the Phrase "aren't you Jack Hoogeveen"something Jim would say from time to time .
Jim just couldn't believe that some one would recognize me at a restaurant 7 years after I played at BGSU and he would not let me forget it .
Another phrase he loved was "How could I mess you if you won't go away ?" Well Jim has left us and he will be missed .
He...
