Jim, you'll be missed my friend. It was a pleasure serving with you at the Marine Corps League and becoming friends with you and your family. Your friendship and family have been a great blessing to me over the years. I always loved your statement "bye for now" whenever we'd part ways after a function. So, in the same spirit, my friend & fellow Marine, I say; "Bye For Now." Rest in peace Leatherneck.
