Jim was a true gentleman with an honor code that is rarely seen anymore. I’ve known Jim since his son Steve and I were in college.
I was fortunate to have seen Jim within the past month. Even though he wasn’t feeling his best, His humor was fully intact and he left me with a funny memory that makes me LOL just thinking about it. I will always fondly remember the best Hugs,Cosmos trips and the way he lit up when he saw his grands. There is forever a hole in my heart in the shape of Jim.
I pray Toni, Steve and the family find comfort in each other going forward.
May you rest in Eternal Paradise Jim, I’ll miss you and I’ll be looking for you when I get there myself. 🫂🙏💐✌🏼🫶🏼
