Mike and Dave Always loved swapping stories and enjoying our time at the Spartan tailgates. We had some unforgettable pregames I will never forget.

How much I enjoyed Jim´s friendship is immeasurable! He was truly one of the best men I´ve ever known. My heart is heavy at such a great loss but my heart is happy he led such a great life with a wonderful love like Pat. My condolences to the family. He will be missed.
