Jim and I had been out of touch but he was a good friend many years ago. Just two weeks ago I told my daughters a funny story about Jim and then I found out he passed recently. I will always remember him as friendly and fun. Lauren, you were just a toddler when I knew Jim but he loved you dearly and talked about you often.
