Deep condolences to all of Jim's loving family.
Jim and I were classmates and 1953 graduates of QHS in Quincy. . We were close friends and shared many great experiences in high school, and Jim was always the source of a good many witty comments and laughable moments. We went our separate ways, and we only saw each other at our high school reunions, but it was always a joy to spend time with him.
The obituary in the Quincy Herald Whig was so informative of his life well lived. God rest his soul.

So sorry for you and the family. Sounds like he led a great and meaningful life, and leaves a legacy to be proud of. My loss that the only time I met him was at your wedding all those years ago. May his memory be for a blessing.
