I worked with Jim at IHOP for several years. He had a gentleness and genuineness to his demeanor. A professional , very knowledgeable, but always helpful and polite to me , I really enjoyed our times when we worked together. My deepest condolences to his family, but I know you are proud of his life. You are in my prayers tonight for comfort and grace.
