Late word was just received today of the passing of Jim Richards. Jim was a good friend and fishing buddy when he and Nancy lived near us in Palm Coast before moving to The Villages. He had been ill with Parkinsons for some time but his death is still distressing. I hope to have details of his Dec 29 burial service to pass on at a later date.
