Jim was the greatest crush of a very girl's life. After the death of Marilyn and the death of my husband, both more than 50 years. Jim contacted me and I can not tell you of the emothions that overcame me. We talked on the telephone for over a month. We met for lunch, and had a very pleasent time but the spark was gone and we parted friends. I am so sorry for the loss of his life for his grandsons. He adored them and after Marilyn's death they were what he treasured most in life.
God bless all of his family.
