    Jim (AKA “Alfy”) was a dear friend and fraternity brother of mine going back to 1970. Was always glad to catch up with him at O.N.U. homecomings that he & I attended almost every year. He will be missed, but, am sure he is now in a better place….

    Jim and Danna have been the best of neighbors for over 30 years. Jim has always been there if we needed something. His visits to the porch in the summers were always filled with laughter and fun. He will be missed as much as any family member, they are truly family. Our love and condolences to Danna, Cody, and his family on their loss. Forever in our hearts.
