Jim was a long-time friend of my father's. My Dad, William Millar, hadn't heard from Jim for a while, so I went on-line and discovered that he had passed away. My dad always said that Jim was a person who was aptly named, because he was such a Good Fellow. Dad will miss hearing from Jim.

I'm a neighbor of Jim's, and will miss the big smile he always had on his face! He loved his family, and was very proud to show off all his photos to any who cared to view them. Rest in peace, my friend, and I know you are with your beloved Dorothy on the other side.
