I was very Saddened to hear of Jim's passing. Jim and I knew each other very well at Union High School and continued to remain friends through his service years. We wrote to each other often. I was blessed to meet both parents. In high school he was the only male my mother would allow in hour home with supervison. She thought the world of Jim. That was a maricle in itself and proves that Jim was a gentleman at a very young age. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
