I hope this is not too late for Jim´s family to receive this. My husband Daniel Kaczorowski was a roommate of Jim at the University of Dayton in the late 50´s. He connected with Jim a few years ago and we met with him and Elaine in Florida a few times. My husband was so glad to see him again and was very sad to hear of his passing. You have our sympathy.
