Jim was like a Dad to myself and a couple other close friends. One being Dean Hubert who passed away a couple years ago. Jim would take us fishing and crabing or whatever you wanted to do. Even while Mike went away in the USMC we spent time with Jim stopping by many times in time for dinner. He like to cook also. Rest In Peace buddy and thank you for spending time with me and my Boys. I will miss you very much. Troy
How – when you get a hole in your life that’s bigger than anything you have to fill it with – do you try to fill it and carry on?
Rest in peace Jim.
