My best to the family! Jim and I played high school sports against each other, I went to Kennewick, and competed fiercely. In later life, I started playing golf and met up with Jim again. He was a humble man who loved life, his friends, and his family. I miss him already.

So very sorry to hear of Jim's passing. I met Jim through cutting and his directorship with NCHA and the product, LubriSyn. Jim always greeted me with a smile. My condolences to the family.

Gail.... I graduated from Pasco High School with Jim, plus I lost my wonderful husband to the same awful disease seven years ago next month. Therefore, I can empathize with you in many ways. I remember Jim as a talented and kind teenage boy. The other postings here give proof that he became a good man, and I'm sorry for your loss. I'm praying for you and your family to have God's strength and peace.
