Although I had not seen Jim in well over 50 years I considered him a friend. He was our insurance rep when I was growing up and in school. He was always very nice to my family and very good to my late mother who raised me and my sister on her own after my dad passed. Jim was a big help to all of us. I am very sorry for your loss and will keep you in my prayers.
