I'm so sad to hear about your loss. I worked with Jim in LR for many years. We shared many life stories. He was one of a kind. Hold dear all your memories, he loved his family. He could tell a story like no other. I will forever remember my friend, and coworker who at times drove me crazy. Fly high friend! You will be miss by many.
