My deepest condolences to Jim´s family. Jim worked with my dad at Jim Moore Cadillac Olds in the 70´s while I was at USC ... What a great friend he was to both me & my dad! Always crushing my hand with that handshake of his & always with a smile on his face. He was a spark of energy in everyone´s day.
God picked a flower on Thursday and his name was "Red Dog" ... God bless you real good old friend ... You & pop hold down the fort until I see you again´!
