Amy & Family.......So sorry to hear of Jim's passing. He was a great friend for many years. We coached against one another before he became a supervisor with the school system. Jim will be missed by many friends and family. He was a charming fellow with a great since of humor. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
