Jim was a car guy all his life and owned a machine shop and a company manufacturing slaughter house equipment. If you needed stainless trim Jim was the guy that would have a die made when thy were not too busy and then ask you how many feet you wanted at an extremely reasonable price.  The people that took his busness over will not do any trim work saying not enough profit. Jim called me yesterday morning asking me to find him a driver to take one of his cars to Auto Fest.  He sad he wanted to get his 38 LaSalle convertible out as it had never been shown since its restoration and the DOT pulled his licence due to his illness. Another great car guy that will be greatly missed.
