My condolences to Jim's family. We were a close bunch growing up in Poquonnock Bridge during the 50s and 60s. Jim joins John Smarz, George Metcalf and John Harris in peace. Ron Lefebvre, Bob Bouge and Ernie Briggs carry on the memories of our youthful forays. Jim loved life and had a very bubbly personality that infected anyone he was with. He will be missed.
