    Jim always had a smile on his face and love in his heart when I’d see him. He also had pearls of wisdom to share with me.
    I will miss him. See you on the other side buddy! Save a seat beside you……..

    He inspired me in many ways. To get clean, stop smoking cigarettes and when you have a craving, most important, eat chocolate.

    Goodbye old friend. I will never forget all the good times we had at the Golden Gate Beer Palace and Candy shop drinking beer and righting all the wrongs of the world. You lived a good life and God is waiting for you with open arms. Godspeed, Jim.

    One of the very first “Old Timers” I met 30+ years ago. Took a lot of his words of wisdom with me and left a lot of them behind as well!! I know you and my Dad (Steve) and my Step Dad (George) both. “Old Timers” as well! Are chopping it up! Up there in Heaven now!! Man! I bet you all are talking non stop catching up!!! My thoughts and prayers are with your family. Rest in Paradise Jim!!!
