Jim (Bouncer) and my Dad, Loras Hughes, were best friends from Cascade. Joined the army together -and then went on to be roommates at the University of Iowa. He came to my Dad’s funeral in May of 2017.
We have kept in touch since the funeral. Two best friends together again- in heaven. RIP Bouncer!
