I had the pleasure of working with Jim at Bryce Corporation.
He always made me laugh at the jokes he told that made 12 hrs
Zoom right by.
I look forward seeing him again

Acts 24: 15
15 And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.
