Cant believe it has been 7 years. We were just talking about Jim and Bob at the shows in Allentown. Lots of good memories. I will never forget you guys.

You and Bob were very kind to me when Felicia was staying with you. Through the years, you always had a nice smile and would stop and chat. I appreciated that more than you realized. You are all in a fantastic place now....

My heart goes out to all his friends and family. Jim was just the nicest person. I always rember the first Tim I met him, on a golf cart at his shows in Western PA, he didn't know me from Adam and helped me find a perfect parking spot. Funny the silly things one remembers. RIP my friend.
