I was so saddened to hear across the miles of Jims death. We went to high school together, and even though that was many years ago, I never forgot him, or the great guy he was. So sorry for your loss, you are all in my prayers at this sad time.

To all of Jimmys family and friends, today we said goodbye to a real gentle man. Some of us called him "HOFFA" instead of his full name, just to be funny. I am thankful that I got to ride with him and have good talks about life. You may hear his laugh the next time you hear a Bad Company song and he will seem not so far away. We will see you soon Jim.
