I did not know Jim for very long but I greatly enjoyed our friendship. We would get together from time to time to talk about whatever was on our minds. He was a very experienced Great Lakes cruiser so we could always share a story of some event on the water. Jim was a man with a strong faith and we shared a prayer whenever we were together. Jim now knows the great mystery of faith that we will share again someday.
