I am so sorry to hear about Jim's passing. We worked together in the Juvenile Court system for years. We both had served in the US Marines and frequently told Marine stories and said Semper Fi when we passed in the hallways. Jim was a good man with a good heart. May the good Lord bless him and hold him close for all eternity.
