I worked for over 25 years with Jim. We played a lot of tennis and he was part of our lunch bunch. We did fall out of touch over the last several years. He was a great friend. I am sorry for his loss.

How I know Jim is that he is my grandfather. If not for him, I do not know where me and my family would be. He welcomed us into our homes with open arms. He has the most selfless heart that I can think of. I always remember the talks we used to have about all the stories that he has told me and Cynthia. Love u Grandpa!

Every morning, as I made breakfast for my son, Grandpa would sit with me at the table and share stories from his past. Those conversations were filled with laughter, history, and life lessons, and I´ll always treasure...
