    To the family of Jim’s. I was just on a road trip today going around my old stomping grounds. I was just thinking of you when I drove past the old farm as to where you are and what you are up to. Was wondering what you were up to since we graduated. It was such a shock when I read this news in the forum tonight.
    We had a lot of good memories back than and I can say it was a pleasure to have had you as a friend in high school. God bless your memory. Tim
