    Jim was like my brother. I am saddened of hearing of his passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. From our days at Ohio Northern University, to his being in my wedding in May 1993 in North Hampton,MA, Jim was a loyal and great friend. I will miss him and always remember his great but sometimes subtle sense of humor. Keith Laffin. Bedford, Ohio.
