Jim was a fascinating person. He had a way of summing up his thoughts like no other. Jim and I studied Journalism at Stephenville(1994 to 1996). Every day was a hoot, as Jim and our classmates challenged our college instructors to the hilt. I always likened Jim to a 1960's movie star, with his deep voice and generally cool vibe. He was most interesting when we'd be up editing a project all night...and he'd get a coffee and light up a smoke. A good story, idea or plan was surely to follow. Very sorry to hear he was unwell, and for the loss of such an outstanding fellow. RIP buddy
