What a wonderful person I had the opportunity to visit as St. Peters Rehabilitation and Nursing home. Our family is so sadden to hear of his passing. My nine year old son loved playing checkers with Jim. I will miss playing Bingo on Sunday afternoons listening tease the others in the nursing. God Bless and Rest in Peace

I interviewed Jim years ago for a story I was doing at the Daily Gazette on the airline industry. He was extremely helpful and informative and I learned a lot from him. He was always kind and pleasant when I met him.
To Joan, Robin, Jay, and his daughter, son and grandchildren, I am so sorry for your loss.
Sincerely,
Jill Bryce
