It has been 15 years or so since I had a "cool one" with Jim and I remember it like it was yesterday. Jim touched a lot of people and I am proud to say I was one of them. Not too many people will get as much done in 74 years as Jim did. "Guys Guys" are getting harder and harder to find!! May God Bless the family.
Sincerest wishes, John & Linda Yale

Jim;; you are such a loss my dear friend. This world will be a duller place without your infectious laugh and your generous heart.
