To the family and loved ones of Jim, my heart goes out to you for you´re loss. I have been traveling down the road of life with Jim for many many years. I met him in MJM junior high in 1953 and we have been friends ever since. I liked everything about him, his family, his creativity, his love of the out doors, his love of the simple life. That´s what kept us close. A friendship to the end. We will meet again, I´m sure of that.
I miss him
Rest In Peace Jim
