    So sorry to all loved ones. I met Jim at a homeless outreach on the near Northside downtown. He was kind and gentle with everyone, even those who were hard to love.

    He will truly be missed!!!! A heart of gold. He should have been a stand up comic. He made everyone laugh!!! We knew each other many many years. We work together for a long period of time. Tons of great times and great memories. And some tough ones, here and there.. My condolences to everyone in the family. He will truly be missed. It is not gonna be the same not seeing him every day!!!
