    I remember Jimmy Broom from elementary school days at old LKS and in Cubs in the 163rd B (KLUC) pack that won so many awards. He was VERY funny almost all the time and quite genuinely gentle. I did as he did and moved north upon retirement. The world is impoverished by the loss of folks just like him. My condolences.
