Sorry to hear of your loss, Jim will be missed. I wondered what happened to Jim over the years and think back to the times when he would bring all of you out to the farm in that bright green Bronco (?) to go rattlesnake hunting. Jim was a fun guy to be around, Bill sure enjoyed his company. Wilma Peters
