Read MoreMy condolences to the family. One of my favorite memories of Jim was when I would spend the night at their house with Linda and Jim would go to the races. If he won, he taped five dollar bills to the bedroom door for us to find in the morning. It was so exciting. He was a very generous and loving man. I am so sorry for your loss.

Jim taught me how to tie a necktie as a boy. A small episode, to be sure, but when he told me I could keep his tie, it was a small example of his desire to mentor people.

May his memory be eternal.
