I met Jim through bowling over 50 years ago...saw him at the local bars through the years...he was a great person to talk to and will be missed..RIP

I met Jim a little over 34 years ago. I had a yellow lab as he did, Moose. I was approached by many neighbors saying they didn't appreciate my dog crapping in their yard and off leash. I was very puzzled cause mine was always on a leash and I picked up the poop. One day my neighbor next door to me called and said my dog was out. I politely said, no he is here with me.

Jim & I met when we were walking our dogs. He was going one direction w/his faithful friend Cody & I with my dog Zara going the other. That was the beginning of a 'neighbor' friendship. When I walked by & he was out in the yard, we always chatted & Cody and new dog Sage became buddies. He always gave us more tomatoes that we could possibly use...he certainly could grow an abundance!! We enjoyed Jim's friendship...he was truly a kind, nice neighbor. RIP my friend. You will be missed.
