To Kathleen and family,
I was deeply saddened by the news of your loss. I knew Jim since 1976. His sense of humor, integrity, and hospitality have always been an inspiration to me. Even though I have been out of touch for the last eight years or so, I always considered him a good friend and his family an important part of my life. Thank you for the years of friendship and please accept my condolences. I have, and will, miss him immensely.
