Jim was a loyal husband to Barb and he loved her greatly. I would like to thank her for the love and care she gave him. I have now lost my older brother. As a young boy, Jim was my idol and always remained so. His loss to me is more than I could ever put in words, When he wrestled for Princess Ann high school, our family attended all of his matches. He placed third in state as a junior and second as a senior. While wrestling for Old Dominion University, he was a three time mason dixon conference champion.

For the rest of my life, I will always miss you Jim
