I will miss Jim, his smile, his laugh and his easy manner. Jim and I were neighbors and friends. We sort of grew up together. He did love the lake and water skiing. I remember he lost his trunks on one of our trips along the cliffs of Lakewood. He kept skiing and laughed the whole way. So like Jim. So many other memories. I miss him. God speed to you Jim. Condolences to Nan, Phoebe and other family.

Jim and family, I am just now finding out about your passing. Today was All Saints Day and I said a prayer for you. I am blessed that I knew you and to have you as a friend. Although we were far away from each other, we always kept in touch from time to time since our days together at Countrywide. Rest well my friend.
