So sad to learn that Jim has passed away. A lifelong friend since Jr High School days. We have shared so many good times together over the years. Including the time we sang in the Southerners Quartet in the early 60's. Sharing God's message of Love and Grace. A good man that I will miss dearly. Blessings to Sue, the boys, and all the family. My God's peace and comfort abide always.
