I am beyond shocked to hear of Jim's passing, I knew him for 15+ years and will always remember him for his laugh, especially when it was at himself. He was more than my insurance guy, he was a good friend. My heart and prayers go out to the family, this has come as an incredible shock to everyone. Jim, you will be missed my friend, unbelievable how quickly life changes….....Surreal that I am writing this tribute to you all too soon-  Mark Maslonka & family
