James Rauch Jr.

Jim and Charlie Rich and I formed a band while attending Corcoran High School in 1969 as Jim was a bass guitar player and Charlie was a guitar player. I remember some of the cover tunes we would practice. Jim and I stayed in touch off and on with each other after graduation and during his banking career and the many talks we had about the good old days. Jim was always easy going and one of the nicest people on this planet. Even though I haven't seen him in awhile, I will miss him. Rest in Peace

He died much too young. He was a few months younger than me. I usually take a trip to Syracuse about once a year and try to have lunch or dinner with Jim and Mary when I'm there. I'll miss not seeing Jim any more.
