My condolences to Jim’s family on his passing. He was a fun guy that I worked with at GE in 80s & 90s. I was fortunate enough to spend some time fishing with Jim at Meramec Springs, Welch’s Springs and other places he enjoyed fishing. He loved the outdoors!! He was just a great guy to share laughs with. RIP Jim, you lived life large!!!
