Jim was one of my best friends ever. He was kind, humble and bigger than life itself. His jobs & friends in life were the lowly and the famous. I never tired of hearing what he did or who he knew, even if I had to force it out of him We would try to have coffee once a week in my sunroom. I´ll miss those times so very much but know that he is not suffering and is in heaven telling everyone around him about his amazing life. Love & miss you buddy
