Jim was my very first friend at age 4 we met. We grew up togather explored life togather and started our first band The Sidesmen at age 13. I always respected Jim for his intellect and musicianship. I am at a complete loss for words for Jim was a huge part of my life growing up. I loved him as a brother in Christ as a friend and as a Sidesmen. There is now a gap in my life. Daryl  Patrick
