    I’am sadden by the passing of Jim! My thoughts go out to his family. I talked to Jim the afternoon before he passed. He called to check on me. We would call each other 2 or 3 times a week to check on each other. I first met Jim about 12 years ago working at Formosa if he saw me working by myself and he wasn’t busy he would come and help me. He was liked by everyone. Rest in Peace My Friend!
