I was so sorry to hear of Jim's passing . He was a dear sweet man who we really lost a while ago. I first met Jim at the Farmer's Market in Lyons with his Mom and his one tiny dog. We chatted and I hired him to build my first compoutr He was so patient when I called to say " I goofed HELP!" He would say what did you do last ? I often stopped for coffee or tea and lively conversations on various topics. When he moved I purchased some of his bound books, a large misty ship painting and a boat in a bottle. Everytime I look at them I think of Jim and remember him with a smile . I often told him he was born in the wrong century as he should have been on a sailing ship from the past.He was a true mariner. Now he is free to roam the seas.. .
