Our Deepest Sympathy to Jim's family. My husband and I bowled on the senior league with Jim for years. On occasion Jim would ask us to pick him up to go bowling when he felt the roads may be bad and he just wasn't feeling the greatest. We've missed seeing him at Herrin Bowl the last few years. He was a very good bowler. Doug & Pat Barnes
