I had the privalige to meet and work along side Jim years ago at Walmart in the automotive department as mechanics. It was instant friendship. Every once in awhile later over the years we’d run into each other at Walmart and he’d always stop and we’d catch up a little bit about life. It was a great honor to meet and know Jim. My prayers are with all his family and friends. R.I.P. Hoop
