Wow have not been on here in a long time. I knew Jim for a long time and had some great times with him and Brad back a long time ago. Jim was a stand up guy. We had a brother HP die in 87 and Jim let me drive his truck 4000 miles, to tow their 5th wheel back to NJ. And he never thought twice about it. I had drive it into one of the worst snow storms, and Jim was not even worried. He and others there did so much for that family that it effected all of us. He would have done anything for anyone in need. Thanks for the memories Jim. God must have needed a good Door Gunner, will miss you, but know when the time comes you will gladly greet us all at the Gates of Heaven.

Thank you to all of our friends who continue to support us in the loss of our brother; just knowing that he is remembered well brings me peace. Jim, Brad, Henry and I loved life on the road and the friends we made along the way. Those were the days when you lived together or near each other, we were like gyspies traveling from outage to outage with friends and family. Newer techs just don't have any idea of what we old timers shared and sadly they never will.

Jim missed life as a tech, he talked about it often and wanted to return to it so badly, why he did not get to do this he is in good company with those fellow techs who have also passed on.
