Deepest sympathy to Jim’s entire family.
Jim was my 45+ year Best Friend. We shared so much together … worked Union Carbide (Elkem), were YMSC members, annual canoe & fishing trip partners, he was in my wedding & so many more adventures he always made outrageously fun.
I cherish them all, along with my beloved friend. Thank you Jim for including me on your fabulous journey through a life well lived.
