Knew Jim from WCI when, worked close for a few years & became great friends but lost contact for some time & reconnected a year or so again. Around last part of `23 talked about meeting for lunch & never set a date. He was always a study dependable person, good humor & willing to help anyone in need. He will be missed. My condolences to the family & would like to talk to Nathan if he would consider it at some point later. (724) 699-5940
