I've known Jim since high school. What a great sense of humor, he was always able to see the lighter side of things. Rest in peace Jim.
My deepest sympathy to the family, he is gone but never forgotten.

Jim was such a nice guy - knew him from high school, good laugh and always a smile back then - always friendly - saw him off and on thru the years and he didn't change - always well thought of.
