Sherry, As painful as it is to lose someone we love it is the price we pay to love. Your life is richer for loving Jim like you do. Just remember that love never dies, Jim will live on in your heart forever. “ May the God who loves us all hold him in the palm of his hand for all eternity.”

Sorry to hear. I’m pretty sure he played bass for Freeport for a short time in the 80’s as I recall Scott Wiley
