RIP Jim. I'm so glad to have seen you at our 40th MHS reunion. I found out about the Florida move at our 45th. We saw Deep Purple and Elton John together at Hershey Stadium in the early 1970s. Our first concerts before college days. Too many other best friend memories to list. How about breaking your leg in three places and me carrying your books for much of 7th grade!?! I count it a privilege.
Peace to you Brother Jim!

My condolences to Jim's family. I worked with him at the cabinet shop in the finish department. We had some great conversations. He was a good guy and a curmudgeon, but I liked him anyway.
