I was sorry to hear about Jim's passing. I learned about it after I received Kohler Co's May magazine. Jim and I attended Jefferson and North High School. He joined me and our other pals for birthday parties and my house and I remember attending one of his as well.
I thought a lot of Jim and always felt he was a quiet but wonderful guy and of course a great basketball player. I remember when he showed me his missing front tooth.
I only saw Jim on few occasions as my Kohler position took me to CT, MD, and Chicago, Il, so I only had the chance to see him when I came back to Kohler Co. for meetings. My best wishes to Jim's family.
