Rest in peace my former class and teammate; I always smile when I think about you; we had some good times. My condolences to all of his loved ones.
Jim was a neighbor in our first home in South Florida. Although we moved multiple times, our friendship never waned. He was always good for a laugh! He planned numerous golf events among our friends, always bringing prizes. He was a great golfer and when put on the spot could win any hole. Jim had the sort of energy that could awaken you and also could wear you out. I knew him well and will miss the weekly texts and phone calls to check on each other, share stories, and talk about our future travels. RIP Jimmy!
