As James always said, to know him was to love him.
Jim was a good friend of mine and will be missed terribly . I enjoyed our talks down through the years . Whenever I was in his neighborhood I always tried to stop and visit . He was a very knowledgeable electrician and a wise man but even more than that he was a great person. I can truly say that to know him was to love him . Farewell my friend and I hope to see you again one day.
