Jim was my classmate from grade 1 through high school. He was always a lot of fun and you can see by his smile (or grin) that he always had, that there was a little bit of mischievousness in him. He was a member of the first little league team in Rotan (Rebels). He was a superior athlete, especially in football. His classmates will miss him.
