I can hear Jims roaring laughter and see his infectious smile. He lived life to the fullest! He's in my top five favorite people of all time!! Some of the best years of my young adulthood was spent at Portobello Road in Wichita and the after parties in Jims (Rick James) Basement!! I know many of our friends share those fun memories, I'm so thankful we all got to share them together. My heart breaks for his children, wife, family and all of his friends! He was well loved and will be missed so much. Love You Jim--Pinky
