Jim and I became friends when he and his wife moved into the Groves where they were living. Jim and I had two things in common. We are both war veterans and we both collect stamps. Jim sold and traded stamps with me. It was great privilege to have known Jim for a sort period of time. I enjoyed sitting down with Jim and putting together the puzzles with him and he was very good at it. A high salute to you Jim and thank you for being my friend and serving our country in time of need. Rest in peace God Bless from the Navy anchors away. Your friend Randy Harris
