Goodbye ol' buddy. We were friends since Senn High, and then some. We each went our separate ways on different Police Departments, you in Chicago and me in Skokie. We always renewed our friendship each time we met . The last time we sat and reminisced was at the Senn High 1955 50 year reunion. It was if we never had any distance between us. Jim, you always impressed me as a "man's man" and you will always be remembered warmly by those that knew you and loved you. You will be sadly missed.
