So sorry to see that Jim passed away. I worked with Jim in the brick mason department at LOF Rossford. He was a good friend and co-worker. My daughter and son-in-law live next to him on Brimley Drive and whenever my wife and I would go visit, I always tried to go over to see him. My wife and I will be in Wisconsin when his visitation and funeral is so we won't be able to come, but we want to extend our condolences. Again, sorry for your loss.
