Jim was a great person and a pleasure to know. Always had good word to say, and was a very positive person. He certainly enjoyed his sports as well as listening to music at G. Rest In Peace Jim.

Jim was a great guy, with a big heart, and a bigger sense of humor. The first time I met him I was about 11 , he had me sign a note for his supervisor explaining why he was late for work that day. I'm proud to have known him.
