We were raised four blocks apart, & classmates from kindergarten all the way thru school. Lakeview, Corwin & South class of ’62. First class to go all three years there.
He worked many years two blocks away at station 5.
Strange thing too. My stepdaughters car was left with a burning cigarette on the back seat at Centennial. On the way to that call, the bar broke off and two of them fell getting hurt.
In 1989 we hired Jim to build the railing on our front porch. Mighty fine job that reminds me of Jim often.
I have been thinking of Jim lately. Not long ago another of our group passed away: Charley Burbidge.
May Jim rest in Peace.

Jim and I served many years together on the Fire Dept. He stayed much longer than I did but we started about 3 days apart. He will be missed by all who knew him.
So sorry for your loss. My sincere condolences. Kathy Rosolini
