Jim was the finest buddy a teenage girl could have asked for. I will never forget his sixteen year old self taking my precious Levis and returning them a couple of days later, beautifully embroidered. Running back into him through the years was always a special treat. This world would be that much sweeter and kinder with a few more Jimmys. Never forgotten.

Summer '73 Jimmy & I set off on a westward roadtrip. Destination: the promised land (California). He didn't bring any shoes (it was summer). We didn't make it all the way but the attempt was transformative. RIP, buddy.

Judy, Toni and family, our thoughts are with you. We will miss our hellos and waves every morning at the lake house. His kind words to the grandkids. His "have fun at the beach". His friendly face on the porch with a smile. RIP Jim the lake will miss you.
