Jim died August 19, 2000. He died the same day my dad passed. I found out 2 weeks after my dad died. I was good friends with him. Hung out in Port Colden through my high school years. I am still in contact with his sister Suzy. We see her often. I told her about this web site, and she asked me to let everybody know about his death. He had 2 sons, who do not live in the area. He is sadly missed.
