  1. Jim was a friend, a close friend for decades. I could write a book about our journey – “A Wonderful Friendship”. He was my morning call with the joy of a new day to share and always ready and willing for a new adventure. Someone to share a joke, a story or just the joys of family and friends. Always upbeat everyone enjoyed Jim’s company and spending time with him. I will miss him terribly.
    Love to Judy and family..
