My deepest sympathy to Jim's family and friends. Jim resided next to my apartment building, as I knew him for a good number of years. Hard for me to come to the realization that the Good Lord has called him home out of the clear blue, as it was so unexpected. Always seemed so robust and full of energy. Always willing to lend a helping hand and I can never recall of him saying a bad word about anyone. We're about the same age, served our country during the Viet Nam War ( he went and I was stationed in the states ). So we talked a lot and I thoroughly enjoyed our conversations. I will surely miss him a great deal. From one Army veteran to another, I salute Jim with a very heavy heart. Hoping one day in meeting up again. Rest in peace now Jim.
