"For well over 50 years Jim and I shared a deep and rich friendship. We shared a passion for music, art and the world of ideas. Separated only by distance in later life, I came to see the powerful love and care he held for his wife, sons and grandchildren. Although I have deep sadness for the loss of my dear friend, I feel so fortunate to have known Jim and for all that we shared. Peace and strength to all his loving family."
