So sorry to lose a gaming legend like Jim. He taught me so much at Harrah's (1973 - 1986) and I am forever grateful. (the colorful Caselli-isms were the best)

I knew Jim, for many years, through the Rodeo. He will always have a special spot in my heart. He may have had that gruff exterior but inside I always knew he was an ol' softie! I'll miss you, Jim.
My condolences to Jim's family.
