"Jim" was a Great Classmate and a Easy Going Man! Rest In Peace our Classmate and we will meet again on the other side. There is an Old Greek saying; "That If You Say a Man's Name He Lives Forever!" I will keep your name in my prayers.

Jim was a real person. That is no fluff, no mask just a great guy..Best roommate I ever had. Give the shirt off his back to you. Loved his convertible and when it was stolen and vandalized, he didn't get real upset but just got it fixed and moved on. The wrestling matches at 2 AM to blow off energy after studying would disturb many of the "Rooks." We were considered part of the "training and education" cadre and housed with them. We missed out on the social stuff in the regular dorms but would not have traded the experience for anything..
