On this Friday night, let's raise a glass to one of our dear departed friends (PHOTO)

If you were his friend, I don't have to tell you who this is. I'm not sure of how he would have dealt with President Trump. His humor and irreverence would have helped to keep the rest of us sane during all of this.

To you, Jim. You are missed.

I miss Jim terribly.

I was very lucky since I actually got to talk to him. It was only when he was in the hospital but we both enjoyed our conversations.

I'm sure he would be skewering Trump right and left. His intelligence and sense of humor were unmatched.

To Jim!

A man who hated wearing pants, but loved Dutch Ovens.

Someone who kept us all laughing during the times we needed it most.
