Read MoreMy wife Gladys and I only learned this morning via the www of Jim's passing. We were next door neighbors in Kensington, Maryland for many years and his guest at Saints games twice. He was everything a friend and neighbor should be, and one of whom we have often thought over the years. Does anyone know where Sally is so that Gladys can offer her belated condolences?
