I just learned of Jim's passing, I'm so very sorry. I meant Jim back in my bar tending days, he was my strength during some bad times. We spent 2 years together and they were the best times of my life. I'm sure whoever he came in contact with he left the same impression. My prayers go out to his siblings, children and grandchildren. I was so blessed to meet his family in California as well as here in FL. He was so tremendously proud of all his children and was over the moon of the birth of his first grandson. God bless you Jim and R.I.P. Always in my thoughts and prayers. Love forever.
