I am so sorry for your loss. I talk about our trip to FL for the Paintball wold cup all the time. It was shortly after 911 and security getting on planes was tight, and we bought last minute tickets. Every time we scanned our tickets we would get flagged for the " Random Security Check" I was so thankful Jim was with me, he kept me from grounded. We had such a great time. PW

I have fond memories of James and was sad to hear of his untimely passing. I loved talking with him about life on the many occasions I had him work on jewels belonging to myself or my family members. It won´t be the same without him...who will I complain to about the absence of Pete´s Coffee shop - we were both regulars! BJ Feeney
