I´m so sorry to hear about Jim´s passing, my condolences to his family. One memory I have during college days Jim and I were wrestling behind the Italian center till 4 am, I couldn´t pin him down no matter how hard I tried, I respect Jim more after that night, he was a good man and I know he would always have my back, god bless him, my thoughts and prayers go with him
