I am so sorry to read this, as Jim called me not so long ago to talk about our high school classmates celebrating our 70th birthdays in October. He gave no indication that he wasn't well. It was so good to catch up with him about his family and life in Ohio. My sincere condolences from the Har-Brack Class of '63.

Wendy and family,
Dick and I send our condolences to you of Jim's passing. It's been a long time since we've seen you but wanted to send our thoughts and prayers. Dick and Marty Dennis
