Jim, for all that knew him, had many talents. From building a grandfather's clock, to cleaning the Hudson ship which is on the pinnacle of the D&H building in Albany. Jim will be missed greatly for his patience and his willingness to please. RIP Jimmy.

I did not know Jim well, as a class of 63 graduate, but he always seemed friendly and down to earth. It is so sad seeing our friends and associate's pass. I too, was in the Navy-joined right after HS graduation, but while I served during Nam I DID NOT serve in Nam. I wish you all well; give each other that special hug; life is short and we our all on a journey, as we pass through. Dick
