  3. Hi Joe—This is tardy because I only heard of Jim’s passing today at our class reunion. Please accept my sincere sympathy. I think you will remember me as Jim’s best friend thru grade school. I lost track of him after high school but I often thought of the fun we had running around the neighborhood and in and around your dad’s construction projects and later driving. I think Jim had a somewhat sad life later, and I wish I would have remained a better friend to him in later times. But, life pulls us in different directions. Anyway I hope Jim had good times, and I wish you and your family healing from grief.
    I also read that Annie and Connie have passed. I remember them well. What happened? Your mom was the sweetest woman in town!
