Jim, you are missed. We had a great time at the academy and I will always remember your sense of humor. I worked with your brother in the Cal National Guard. He would always talk about you and as you know he also was a Highway Patrol Officer. The day I heard about your tragic accident I wa deeply sadden.We were close in badge numbers but closer in spirit....Rest in peace brother and someday we will meet again and talk about the good old times at CTCIII-69......Semper Fi Brother....You are missed.
