Jim was always a highlight of my day when he would come into the bank and greet us. The memories of the sunshine he brought to our everyday lives will continue to shine for those that know him.

I first met Jim in Ames where his future wife Pat was attending Iowa State University. I was also attending Iowa State and shared a dorm room with Pat's brother Mike who I also went to Moline high school with. Jim became a life long friend and a fellow Short Hills member.
