to Jims family...Never did I have the pleasure of working with Jim but I have known him for many years. Attending many shoe shows I would see him in ACTION...seemed to know everyone and was a pleasure to be around. May He Rest in Peace and I hope knowing he was held in high esteem and well liked is some comfort in these difficult times. Bruce Meloney
