Jim and I were childhood friends. I had lots of interesting experiences with Jim and the rest of our friends when he grew up on Centennial. He found me later in life and shared his sad news. It was so great to reconnect, but I was living in Denver at the time of his passing. Jim was a good friend and very special to me. One memory I can share is we went to Manpop together. I think we were like 15 years old. So many fun times. Rest in peace my friend! - Posted by: Les Kaplan (Friend ) on: Feb 06, 2024
