    Jim is/was my friend for over 60 years, and even though we ended up living far from each other, he was always in my thoughts. He touched quite a few peoples hearts with his kindness and his compassion. We all will miss his laughter and humor. Our condolences to Mary, and the rest of the family. Love you brother.
