Jim was my Masonic Brother and a friend he always greeted me with a smile and a handshake. I will miss the show conversations we had. His intellect, and the true feeling of camaraderie may God enlighten his soul.

Jim will be missed and remembered. I always enjoyed our dialogue in the living room together. Whether it was related to family, business, civil war interest, or westerns. He raised a wonderful daughter who I love dearly.
Rest in peace Jim
