Sad to hear about Jim's passing. He was a high school classmate. I know he enjoyed his work for the dealership in Des Moines and the travels in the RV. Occasionally we would run into each other at Meskwaki , where his wife was often doing the winning so we could visit. Rest in Peace, Jim! Our prayers and thoughts to his family.
