I met Jim at the 9th grade South Junior High Prom. We dated off and on for the next two years and married in the summer of 1965 when we were 17 nd 18 right after 11th grade.. The marriage only lasted 3 1/2 years but we produced a wonderful son at the very end of our marriage. That son is now 48 years old and a handsome delightful man. Jim had some troubles in life and died at the young age of 33, He never forgot any joke he ever heard. He would start laughing before he got to the end of the joke and make everybody else laugh before he even got to the punch time. May you rest in heavenly peace Jim.
