Jim was my friend for almost two decades, maybe more. From his healthiest, most capable self on up to his failing years, he remained a strong, never-give-up, always helping guy. Never let me pay him for any help except in Pepsi (until he gave that up). Kathy and the kids, my heart is with you. Jim was a rare sort and I will miss him always.
