My father was a partner of Jim's on the Midwest Stock Exchange and I have many fond memories of visiting my dad and Jim on the floor when I was a youngster. I'll never forget his magnetic personality and his distintive voice. He was such a good, kind individual with a great attitude and sense of humor. I remember times when I would visit the floor before going to white sox games and Jim would jokingly say "No don't go, you're a jinx!" The White Sox are going to win it all this year Jim and I know you'll be watching from heaven! My condolences and those of my father and sister Cindy (who also worked with Jim on the Midwest) go out to Jim's family, he will be greatly missed by many!
