October 26, 2024 at 2:24 pmAfter years of looking for him, i finally found him..and it breaks my heart. Jim and I spent our entire time in the Corps together, from Parris Island to New River. He and I were very close friends. Loved him. I hope he’s up there having a laugh with our other close USMC buddies, Joe Polin and Matt Monson. My sincerest condolences to Barbara, Kimberly and his friends and family… Jimbo was the best. Semper Fi, ol’ buddy!
