My condolences to Kay and family. I remember fondly Jim and I playing golf at Hickory Knoll before work. Then after we moved away on our visits to Muskegon Sal and I would always look forward to seeing Jim and Kay and enjoying a dinner with them. Jim was one of the nicest, most decent men that I have ever been privileged to know, work , and play with in my life. He made the world a better place. Jim you are missed.
