To Jim's family-

As a high school classmate of Jim's I was saddened and surprised to read of his death. After just recently moving back to the area after a 37 year absence, Jim was one of the people I had hoped to see one of these days. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you.

"It's good to be friends with the king" as Al would say. I have a picture of Al handing me a dollar on a fishing trip one memorial week end.....and he did not have his teeth on his nose so we knew he meant it. He will be missed.

RIP Albert.

To Jim's family, may God bless.

Teri, Louie, and family,
So VERY sorry to hear of your loss.
Stay strong and keep the faith.
