There was never a time I saw Jim without a smile on his face. He always enjoyed a good laugh and a good story. He loved meeting celebrities and getting autographs. His patience and persistence usually paid off. I will miss visiting with Jim during those encounters. My prayers are with his family during this extremely difficult time.
