February 1, 2023 at 2:12 amIt’s a sad day when we lose such a fantastic guy. I met Jim years ago on the baseball field when we coached the kids. I’ll always remember his patience and great attitude….and that great smile. Over the years, I didn’t see him often, but we bought several cars from him and he always treated us like family. He was a great guy that was taken too soon. My deepest condolences to the entire family. RIP Jim.
