Jim has been a dear friend since high school when I seemed to be the go between him and his girlfriend Barb Chuich. He helped me out of a few jams back then when things could have gone sideways in a hurry. Jim loved to mix it up on any issue that I was on the other side.....still we remained friends for over 55 years. He loved to beat you at cards, his sarcasm was soul crushing, but it couldn't hid his heart for friends and his family. Jim was one of life's winners and am grateful for the experiences we enjoyed. Any Smokie Robinson or Four Tops song puts me right in the seat of his car in Elby's Parking lot. These many memories are things that make up your life, so glad Jim was in mine all for all these years.
