I have known Jim for about 10 years. A wonderful artist and photographer. We were members of 2 Art Centers. He always could be counted on to help out at the art centers. He was a kind, true gentleman with a great sense of humor. A very intelligent man with vast knowledge of art. As of a week ago Jim helped me with a watercolor piece I am working on and his opinion was spot on. I will miss him greatly as a fellow artist. Also, as a wonderful human being, and my very good friend. Prayers to his family. May he rest in peace and continue to laugh heartedly in HEAVEN. I will think of him often.
