Hearing of Jim’s death was not only shocking, but heartbreaking. Jim was a friend from high school and beyond. We caught up on our lives when he worked at the county office building and courthouse and at some of our class reunions. There were times when Jim just needed a friend’s ear and I am happy that he reached out to me. I am sad for Jim’s family and know they all will miss him immensely. My prayers for the Alling family.
