It is truly sad to hear of Jim's passing. He and his sister Pam were some of my closest childhood friends.

I am sorry to hear this.  We were in school together through elementary at Longino and CPHS.  He was always quiet, smart, and I remember his quick smile.  My sympathy to his family and friends.
