I am saddened to learn of Jim's passing. We are both Blue Comets and Black Panthers and I often visited with Jim when we both had showrooms in the KC Gift Mart, Unfortunately that was too many years ago, but great times and shows! He was always smiling and usually had a "story or two" to share. He definitely developed some great product lines for his customers and had a loyal and dedicated following amongst that group.
God Bless Jim!!!
