Jim was one of the wittiest, sharpest men I have ever known. He could turn a pun with the best. Super smart, too! And he always had such a wry, and humorous, take on life. That stood him in good stead during his years as a radio deejay. “Rockin’ Ron” was his air name. He also was known as “Ron James.” Why? He told me once, but I don’t remember! He also loved to use “Jim Dandee” online. From the song, “Jim Dandy to the Rescue.” I know he rescued me more than once. Jim was a showman. He loved the theater. That’s where he met his beloved, late wife, Debi, whom he lost in March, 2015. Jim and I were only able to get together a couple of times in the last five years, but I spent most of the time at those lunches laughing and trying to one-up him in our repartee. I’ll miss Jim’s late-night online chat sessions and his readiness to bail me out anytime I needed someone to explain something complicated to me. Well, you’ve signed off for the last time, my friend. I can turn my radio off now and get some sleep myself. Goodbye, buddy. Rob
