"Jim was my buddy through Franklin Grade School we got in a lot of "trouble" together, and we took a lot of chances together he saved my skin (literally?) more than once. I lived across the alley from him and his family until I left for the Army. The last I remember seeing Him (and Judy) was at church at Mulford in the early 70's. May the Lord bless any of Jim's family that reads this!! Joe Buckley "
