Terrible loss. Jim was a really great guy and fantastic attorney. He was honed in the old-school way. He will be missed.

A few years ago Jim I and Keith reconnected after a long time. He took us to a wonderful football game in Southern Illinois we got to meet some of his old players, had dinner with his wife and stepdaughter at their beautiful home and tried to make it up for Bingo in Lake Como on Monday nights when he could we will miss those times. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Paula and Keith Zamolewicz
