Met Jim at Gateway Gun Club back in about 1978. We went to a lot of shooting meets together over the years. We went hunting once in a while but came home empty handed. Life and family got in the way but we always kept in touch. Jim you were always a good friend and I will miss you. - Posted by: Jack Krause (Shooting friend, hunting, reloading and going to the drags in Gimli) on: Feb 09, 2014
