I met Jim at Park College, and we both had a love for classical music. He was a very sincere, and positive person, even with all of his health issues.
My Deepest Condolences for his loss.

I knew Jim from our old days at Park College. He was always kind, considerate, and willing to give you the shirt off his back.
He will be greatly missed.

I worked for Jim many years ago for the Kansas City Kings. He was a great mentor and a good person to work for. I'm sorry we lost touch through the years.
