Jim was a great friend during high school. And our bond grew stronger after our graduation. We had a lot of "fun times" together at the U of I. Later when we met our future brides to be, the four of us were inseparable. I was honored that Jim asked me to serve as a groomsman for his wedding to Mary Ellen. As time went by our families enjoyed taking vacations together. Jim was a fantastic guy and will be dearly missed.
