During my 35 year career as a mailman in Florissant, I delivered to numerous school mates: Tom Gunning, Larry Stillman, Chuck Muich and others who my waning memory can't find at the moment. Jim was one of our classmates that I met in his front yard on a street that ran off of Elizabeth. He was caring for his 3 daughters at the time and loving it. A real gentleman. I am sure he will be missed.
