Nobody told me Jim passed away. He bought our place in Slatington back in 1984. This helped my family move to Florida. He was a good friend. I didn't realize we weren't getting Christmas cards because he was gone. Too young. This is what happens when people loose touch. I've been out of touch for at least a decade. Jim is surely missed. RIP, jan

Jim was a great guy, I remember our mini drag races in front of Horwith's gas station; him in his '57 Chevy and me in my dad's Chevy Pickup.
