I am so sorry to here of the passing of Jim.  Like every one else has said Jim was always so kind and willing to always go the extra mile to help any one who needed it.  Kim my thoughts and prayers are with you during this extremely difficult time for you, and your family.   We all know that Jim fought cancer courageously.  Let  us never forget about Jim's contribution not only to the nfbf  but to our lives. Lets strive to be more intentional with each other.  Jim you  will be missed  God bless you and your family today and always.
