Jim was someone you could ask for a favor/help and he would do it. Yes, he might make you beg a little, but would always lend a hand with a smile. We enjoyed our NASCAR rivalry too. Cook will not be the same without him. RIP my friend.

I will miss everything about Jim, He was not just a coworker but a close friend. We shared a lot of laughs together and enjoyed talking about all life had to offer. Jim was loved by all and he will never be forgotten.
