I will surely miss Jim, a very dear friend for 60 years. I have many memories of hunting and fishing with Jim. He packed a wealth of knowledge about the outdoors and wildlife...especially in New Jersey. He introduced me to float fishing on several NJ rivers and streams. Jim was a prolific writer as well as a watchdog of NJ wildlife legislation. I never saw Jim without a broad smile on his face. Yes, Jim was a grand man! Vin Sparano

I was saddened to hear of Jim’s passing. I always enjoyed talking to him, either when he would call for a fishing report or when he stopped at the shop for a visit. He would always send me Lake Hopatcong articles to keep me up to date … We will miss you. Our deepest sympathies to the family. Laurie and Joe / Dows Boat Rental & Bait Shop

Jim, Was one of the best and now one of the last of a long line of Outdoor writers who helped promote New Jersey's Outdoors. Some 30 years ago when I became President of the Lake Hopatcong Knee Deep Club Jim was always available to help me, whether to promote an event or to get an important issue out there in the press or to just give some sage advise. He was never afraid to take on an issue. My best memories are when he took me to the Outdoor Writer's Dinner which was a really big deal back in the day. He also fished with me in The Lake Hopatcong Stew Lant Challenge. I don't remember us catching many fish that day, but I remember having a great time just doing what fishermen do, telling stories, enjoying nature and each other's company and of course a good meal at the Windlass to end the day. Jim you will be missed
