Was around Jim in late 80's and early 90's, always had something positive to say. They got a great "rookie" for the game in the heavens. LaPlata, MO US
Jim epitomized class at its every possible level in the lore of Decatur fastpitch softball. His contributions, many though they are, pale in comparison to his humble, upright character. He will be missed. Decatur, IL US
