Jim was my brother, and so much fun! He died suddenly, heart attack on Halloween. He had been newly married for 1.4 years. For those of you who knew him, he had a real gift of "gab"...he later went to war (Nam) and became a radio broadcaster. He settled in FL, and had a talk show which was political.
After many years and feeling a burn-out from radio talk, he and a buddy bought a helicoptor and did weather and traffic and hurricane up-dates for many radio shows.
I will always miss him, he was a fantastic older brother.

Hi Kathleen,

I remember Jimmy, he was quiet in homeroom. Didn't you guys live up the street from me. I lived on Maked Tree Road, didn't you guys live up from the intersection of High Rock St? Wasn't there another kid his name was Kenny who also lived in that area.. Its been such a long time, but memories are all coming back.

Jamie will always hold a special place in my heart. I was so sorry to hear that he had passed away at such a young age.
