I am upset that he had to go and I am wondering why he had to go? I wish he was still alive until I get in the NFL.

Jim was one of our bandmates in Last Time Around. He provided the name for the band and was instrumental in developing it's harmonies. It was a pleasure playing beside him and seeing how he developed the music. He had a distinctive voice. He also had a great sense of humor. I'll miss Jim but will always be happy that I shared some of his road. Pick well with the angels in heaven.
