Jim was a Ramsay boy and a friend. He spent much of his time at Ramsay park and fishing the river. I remember him bouncing two or three times on the diving board to get extra height and doing a jack knife into the water. We played pick up baseball games with venison on the grill and a quarter barrel of beer in the dugout. I'll miss him even though we haven't seen each other since Scott Udd's funeral. He was thoughtful of others. See you later Slick.
