I have known Jim for 50+ years and looking back realized Jim was a once in a life time friend. He was always there to support me in good times and bad with no limits. We moved away from Richmond in 1981 but never lost contact with Jim and Linda. We were living in Iowa when Jim let us use his condo at the beach. We had to buy our own unit so that for one week out of the year we were neighbors again and the good times continued. When we first met Jim and Linda we would always go to their house every Fri/Sat night to party. The crowd size would very but it was always a good time. We would consume libations and enjoy each others company. Thinking back their was never any problems or issues. Everyone had too much respect for Jim and Linda plus you did not want to mess with Jim. Jim is truly missed, but he is now with Linda.
