I remember meeting Jamie on the “red carpet “ on one of our first days at Cornell College in Iowa. We became good friends. I have lots of good memories of our friendship throughout our time in Mt. Vernon. He even came to visit me after graduation and gave me my first ride on his motorcycle. Condolences to his family.

Jamie and I were like brothers through the 6th grade. When not in school you could find us on basketball courts, baseball diamonds, golf courses, football fields, ping pong tables, pool tables, ice skating rinks. My mind is flooded with incredible great childhood memories with Jamie. We stayed in touch over the years. I last spoke to him a few months ago. “Piglet” you will live on in my heart forever!
