February 14th, 1949 - February 18th, 1991
I only knew Jim through my best friend, Keith Seaton and then running into him at South. Jim and Keith both worked at the Mayfair Market on Hilyard and 29th during their high school years (replaced by the new existing Albertson's). Keith didn't have a car until his senior year but since he only lived a couple of houses down from me on 41st Ave, he would convince me to pick him up in the evenings after work, especially if the weather was bad! Jim was usually leaving then too, so we would often hang out a little before we all left the parking lot.
I was always impressed with both Jim and Keith because they worked 40 hours a week inaddition to going to school. A heavy load for them both.
In their senior year, one of the managers at the Mayfair swithed to Bi-Mart on West 18th. My recollection is that Jim went with him when he left for Bi-Mart. Keith followed them a few months later.
Keith went into the military after high school but returned to Eugene about 5 years later and went to the Uof O. He would run into Jim every now and then and they would BS about the world. After Keith received his degree, the also reaturn to active duty and left Eugene. I mention this because the last I heard of Jim was from Keith in 1991, when someone contacted Keith to let him know of Jim's death. Keith then called me to pass along the sad new, as it was a shock to us both since Jim died so young. Now I like to imagine them organizing ball games in the great beyond! :-)
