So sorry to hear about Jimmy’s passing. I haven’t seen or heard much from him over the last few years, but will never forget our High School and College days. I am sure he will be missed. By the way, when did he sleep? As a college roommate he just paced floor all night long.
Bob Morgan says
I was a classmate of Jim’s at St. Helena School and remember him as friend and a nice kid. I lost track of Jim when he went to HHS. Sorry to hear he has passed. Wishing the family strength and peace at this difficult time.
