  We are in shock of Jim's passing! I met Jim through my business the Dog Leg Saloon. It didn't take long for our meeting the first time to end up in a friendship. We had many good times and will never forget Jim. He was such a good person and I know how much he loved his family. We are all so sorry, he will be greatly missed.
