Jim, I am heartbroken that you are no longer on this earth with us. I have so so many memories going back to our youth and nothing but good times when we were together. Fishing, camping, building our hydroplanes, mini-bikes, motorcycles (you were the cool guy with the Bultaco!). And, your harmonica and constant smile. I am so grateful to have been a friend with you and this is so unexpected that I am still processing. You are one of the most real people I have ever met. I love you, Brother. Peace in Heaven and look up my little girl, Faith. Your friend forever, Mark
