Rest in peace old friend. To the family I worked with Jim in Deerfield from 1976 To 1982 and then at BSO. He was a god man, cop and boss. I guess Las Vegas will be a little emptier without him. God bless and keep you all

Dan, Andrew, and Wolfie, I am so sorry for your loss. Jim and I were partners on the midnight shift in the courthouse and he was by far one of the best people I have ever had the pleasure of working with. And I am thankful that we kept in touch and that I had the pleasure of speaking with him in December. May he rest in peace.
