Sorry to see a great guy like Jim pass on , always had a smile and a good story to share . Don Plungis
Terribly sad to read of Jim's passing. He was, in automotive parlance,
a "one off". A truly unique individual that will be missed by many. I always enjoyed time spent with Jim no matter when or where. My thoughts and prayers go out to his wife and family....God Speed Jim!

My deepest sympathies to your family. Jim and I were both in the Korean War and on the Detroit Police Department together. I knew Jim well as he came up to Communications a lot as part of his job. He was a great guy and good friend and will be missed.

Worked for Sgt DeVolder, what a great boss and class guy, he was liked by the entire shift. Prayers for him and his family.
So sorry to hear of Jim's passing. Please let us know if there will be a memorial.
