I’m saddened that Jim and I had not spoken in years! He was in my first wedding and we were fraternity brothers! He was a great friend and an honest, respected man and Brother! God Bless Brother and Rest In Peace!

Buddy, so nice to hear from you, Jim had been up here in an Alzheimer care unit close to Kristen and her husband and grandchildren.and my husband and I. The last few years has been difficult, we lost both our sons Andy and Matt within several years of each other from aortic aneurysms..Jim did get to spend some great times with Matt before he died. Jim’s illness progressed quickly in the last six months. This was a blessing for all, to see a guy like Jim deteriorate before your eyes is heart breaking. Cathy Sheppard Rocco called me on Saturday. We all had some wonderful memories. Thank you for contacting. Hope you’re well and your happy and healthy. Deb
