Jim was a good friend with a heart of gold. My father in law "Daniel Simoons" lived across the street from Jim, and for 30 years I hung out with Jim 2-3 times a year while visiting my in-laws. Jim was the best, and we're going to miss him,the Mayor of Ridge Rd Valencia, I would say Pitssburgh.
Love, Dutch & Renee "Simoons" Van Der Wal.
