Jim and I were in the Military together and I was at Air Reserve Personnel Center on Lowry AFB when Jim was the Installation Staff Chaplain at Lowry. I have good memories of his "gourmet" meals at his home in Arvada. I have fond memories of time spent with Jim. Prayers and remembrance at Masses. Peace my friend.
