I met Jim when I was just a teenager at Emporia State (KSTC). I say good-bye as an aging Baby Boomer. I remember him most, as the best and loyal friend, of Richard Greig. He worked with me as the night auditor at the Ramada Inn during our college days. I knew him as a quiet , steady presence throughout the remainder of our college years. I am so sad that I will never be able to see him again.

Jim - rest in peace as you so dearly deserve. You are an inspiration by your selflessness as are your treasured friends Rich and Marcia. God watches, knows and will not forget.
