Deepest sympathy to Eleanor and all of Jim's family, on their loss. Have known Jim for many years, and we are hoping that he is in a "better place", and his suffering is over. Now, the loved ones left behind, are doing their suffering during this very difficult time.

Jim was one of my favorite people. He tried to be ornery, but he never could really "sell it"... I worked with his son Paul. Another of my favorites.Both of them had hearts of gold and are missed. Rest in Peace, Jim. I'm happy for you that your struggle has ended.My deepest condolences to all that loved and knew Jim. Please take some comfort in knowing that he is in a better place.
