    Jimmy, you were a great guy. Loved how you mentored the kids, had something to talk about to every golfer, great to your help and made working for you something to look forward to. You will be missed and I regret not making it over there as planned, the week before your passing , just to say hi. Can’t imagine how hard this must be on your family.

    I was sad to hear of Jim’s passing. He was a generous person. He never said no when I asked him for foursome donations for the various charity golf events I have run over the years.
