I just found out that you are gone Jim. My heart is so sad and I remember all of the very good times we had over the years. The funniest thing I can remember is when we were in Reno and I thought the dealer asked us if we wanted to chump change!?!?

You will always hold a very special place in my heart. Thank you for being a dear friend. Thank you for being our best man. Thank you for being you. Have a stinger up there for me will you?
