Jim was a 1973 MAHS classmate & a football teammate of mine. We all reconnected at our 50th class reunion back in September 2023 & he hadn´t changed much. We were all a lot older but he still had that boyish smile & was still the same kind, friendly, quiet, unassuming Jim. He left us far too soon & will be greatly missed. My condolences to his wife & family. I just heard about his passing 30 minutes ago, so, I unfortunately missed his viewing & funeral.
