Well, lol, here goes...when i first met him, I was swinging on my care bear star swing at my grandma's...my mom made me stop to meet him...he approached me and said "hi my name is Jim and I gonna start dating your mother." Well ..I apparently didn't like that....so I smacked him in the face and ran for the house...I was like 7 or younger...lol

I was stationed with Jim in Germany and remember him as a protective, loyal, funny, loving and trusted friend!

I was really thinking about him and decided to see if I could find him...

I am so sorry for his passing and that I did not have a chance to speak with him before now...

May he rest in peace and my sincere condolences to his wife and family...

I´ve always missed his indomitable presence and spirit; rest in peace my friend and may God´s peace be with your friends and family.

Jim bought me a "biker bell" for my sportster. I was so excited to attach that bell to the frame of my bike! I'll think of him everytime I ride knowing he's watching over me.
