Jim- although it's been a few years since you passed I still remember you and all the fun we had on our Trail Mates outings with the kids. Also our get-togethers with our wives to play Boo-Ray (never did know how to spell it, though).

Carol,

My mom let me know about Jimmy. I am sad, but I'm remembering how fun he was to be around and shoot the breeze with. I hope you and the rest of the family are doing as well as possible.

Love, Pete DeWind

Carol, Laurie and Julie- We were very sorry to learn of Jim's passing. He left us with many very fond memories and some funny ones as well. Some of the best times were on the Trail Mates outings with the kids, and for Pete and me the Boo-Ray card parties with you guys. We will always remember Jim fondly. Pete and Marty

PS: Pete just reminded me that Jim was responsible for me buying the Healey. He went with me to look at it when it was for sale. He was supposed to say something like "it's junk, not worth it", but he said instead "it's all there! what do you want?" So 23 years later and counting, it still reminds us of Jim.
