Jim has left a legacy of friendship and good will that will be hard for anyone to match. Cousin Jim and I grew up together and I could always count on him being in a good mode and enthused about our next adventure of either fishing in little creek or hunting a ground hog.
My hope is that everyone will remember him for the sincere and good person that he always demonstrated to others.
