What a special guy he was. He made "Bill" Look so much better than who he was mistaken for many times. I can't imagine the world without Jim on the cruises we shared, but life goes on until we meet again!

My condolences to Jim's family. I knew him when he worked at the UCDMC. We volunteered in several projects and I attended one of his Toastmasters class. He always had a smile and was always so cheerful. He loved to talk about all the cruises he went on and the good times he had. Rest in peace dear friend.
