“Jim was a true gentleman. Always there to help, to advise but only if asked. He always showed genuine interest in whatever you were doing. He loved his boat, the Yacht Club and understood the value of tradition. Jim is a great friend who we will miss. Please know our thoughts are with Karen, and “all” the family. Fond memories of Jim will live forever in all of us. Jamie, Martha, Becky and Barnsworth”
