    Aggie, Joe, Matt and Steffanie Having just spoken with Jim in the past few weeks I was devastated to receive Matt's call today. "Ho" was a great friend who we will miss terribly. Our one solice is the wonderful memories of the time we spent together over the many years of our friendship with your wonderful family. Perhaps those that will stand out most are how proud Jim was and how great he looked at Matt and Steffanie's wedding. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. Warmest regards, Jerry & Lois
