I knew Jim and his girlfriend at the time Julie, through my friendship with Ron Valentine. Both Jim and Julie were always fun to be around. I remember Jim as being a kind and warm person to be around. Always had a smile on his face, both he and Julie (who he ended up marrying) always made me laugh.

Ron contacted me a couple of days ago after learning of Jim's passing. I'm very sorry to hear this. Also sorry to hear that Jim amd Julie divorced but was happy to read that they remained good friends.
