I have known Jim for 37 years. Jim has been an inspiration in with his tact and decorum. Never uttering a harsh words about others. His gentlemanly demeanor was one of his most admirable qualities. His gentle ways was another of his admirable qualities. He has left a mark on my life that inspires me to be the best version of myself. For now dear friend, I will see you later! Rest in Peace brother.
