Jim was my best friend during high school and was a lot of fun. He, Dennis Mathews and I were in the army reserve (6 months) together and went through basic training at Fort Knox. Denny and Jim went to cook school and I went to MP school. We met up again when our unit was activated during the Berlin/Cuban crisis and were extended for another 15 months. We were all stationed at Fort Polk, LA and had a great time while there. Jim and Denny were the company cooks and I was a stockade guard.
I was very taken back when I heard of his passing. God rest his soul.

Jim was a very witty and energetic friend. He always, always had a kind and witty come-back for all
situations. I remember often trading him my lunch bag for his, after I had already eaten mine! A kind
and gentle soul. Jim, you will always be loved. Ken Squiers
