I had the Great Pleasure of knowing Jim for many years and always called him a Friend. Jim and myself spend a lot of time together fishing whenever we could and took many trips to Alpena Michigan trying to catch the Monster Pike. Although we only talked once or twice in a long time since I moved to Tennessee I spoke of Jim from time to time and I have shared many stories of some of our fishing trips together. He will be greatly missed by all that had the pleasure of knowing him. Our prayers are with you Patricia and the Family.
