My deepest sympathy to all of Jim’s family. He was a dear friend and we go back many, many years. He’s now been reunited with family and a lot of friends – probably out golfing and having a beer with Jeff, Jerry and the General. Jim was such a kind soul. He will be deeply missed. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless.
