Jim you will be missed by all of the gang. You touched many with your professional ability and always shared your expertise freely helping those in need. The repair industry will miss your fairness and most importantly your friendship. I appreciate the opportunity to share time together over the years. Those hunting times were the best and I will always cherish the memories. Thanks Jim....until we meet again.
