I was shocked to hear of Jim's passing. You know 1st hand what a GREAT guy he was, & with a heart of gold. Though he could be a little grumpy at times, I always had some laughs with him. I remember being on Special Hazards with him hanging out till the weee hours of the morning on "The Corner" I will treasure knowing your dad forever. Try to remember all the good times you had with your him, as I'm sure he would want us all to.
