I spent many...I know this is old but just found it. I spent many years growing up with my friend Jim. Had a lot of fun and great times with Jim, friends, and family back in the days. Knew him since the 60s. I remember the horror/space films we used to make, and Ruckmans Pond was our second home. We both were hyped on our imaginations and had a lot of fun expressing them. I saw a few old recordings of Jim at the radio station and yeah, that's my pal Jim alright. I got a hold of Jimmy through a member of the Closter FB page and emailed him just before he passed, wanting to get together again since I found out where he was and was talking about the past. He emailed me back and I wanted to go see him but he said he wasn't doing very good and told me what he had. I emailed back and I still wanted to see him as we haven't communicated since our younger years, and after awhile I got a reply from a woman which I can't remember her name right now and she told me Jim had passed. Wow. I looked him up and found some articles about him and how his life wasn't that great but what a great person he was, and then I heard older Jim on the radio station recording, and yes that's my pal Jim. I did find out as I was asking about old recordings or the old 8mms we made back then because we made a ton and heard he had a fire where he lost everything. I am glad I got in touch with him and did get to mention how good of a friend him and his family were. I tried in the past to get a hold of him but I didn't have FB back then. Not very religious but something told me to get a hold of him. I'll miss you forever, friend. From R.
