Jim was a customer of ours and I really enjoyed talking baseball with him! He was a very nice man! Our thoughts and prayers are with Jim’s family.
Sincerely, Mark Stores
Jim and I played winter ball together in Mexico City in 1954. He was a real competitor. We became friends. He came and stayed at our house in Edinburg Texax.
My sympathy, condolences go out to the family.
