I am so sorry to learn of Jim's passing. Jim was my barber for over 20 years. He will be missed by all who sat in his special barber chair. In fact I called him about a haircut during the pandemic. He came to his shop about a year ago to cut my hair and he then instructed me how to cut his hair. He was a very adventuresome person whether flying, skiing or whatever. My deepest condolences and prayers to his family and friends. We have lost a great guy. Dave Cole
