Oh Jim, I didn't know you were sick, my friend. We shared many laughs together, hard work, good days and not-so-good days at The Observer. How fitting that the last place I saw you was at a car dealership....oh the days! Rest easy my friend. You are loved!

I am deeply saddened to hear this news about Jim. I hired Jim back at The Observer many years ago. He was always very kind to me. He was always ready with a joke and a smile. More recently I enjoyed the photos of his hobbies on Facebook. I will miss him very much.
