I had the priviledge of working a few high school and legion games with Jim several years ago. If I remember correctly we also did some Babe Ruth stuff as well. While I didn't know him well I can tell you that in our area he was a highly respected umpire.

I still work amateur games with his partner shown in the piece. We were on the same crew for the Cal Ripkin regionals last year and have been in the same association for as long as I've been a member which is about 16 years. He also had a cancer scare. Both of them are good guys.
