Condolences to Jimmie "O's" family. He was a great guy and added so very much to the La Mesa Senior Softball League. I was blessed to have known him over the years and played along with Jim. Forever a memory of a special player.

My sincere condolences go out to Jim's wife and family for their loss. He will be remembered by all of his fellow senior softball players as one of the most beloved gentlemen to ever play in the La Mesa Senior Softball Association. Aside from being an extraordinary, skillful and dedicated player, he was very compassionate and caring about those around him. Jim will be missed by many and will always live in our thoughts and prayers.
