Very sad to read of Jim's passing. I knew him from Hoover Elementary and John Adams JH since our dads were snowmobile buddies.
Jim went to North Carolina through IBM for two years (6th and 7th grade I think?) and came back with a southern accent and a love of NASCAR and Southern Rock which is how I first learned of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet, and Atlanta Rhythm Section. I often think of him whenever I hear any of those bands.
