So Long Jim — I will always remember you being the first “professional” drummer I met and being amazed by your talent and good humor. You always had something good to say about everyone. Your quiet intelligence and passion for music will endure in your offspring. See you on the other side.

I worked with Jim for many years during his career at Unico. He always talked about his family with such pride. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
We had many laughs together and a running joke about bringing pickles to the pot lucks at work.
We ran into each other a few times during the years after Unico and he was always laughing or had a smile on his face.
RIP Pickles
