I am sharing this with permission from my stepson, Christian Miller. Jim paid Christian some cash to help him move to a new apartment way back in the 1980s. "Yes, I remember Jim. He paid me 10 dollars an hour to move his boxes. I was in my early teens and at that time that amount was a lot. I remember he was a self-professed communist, or socialist. I ended up walking away thinking that communists (or socialists) were people who respected hard work and backed it up with a fair wage. I also remember he was kind and generally respectful, he didn’t talk to me as some adult do children and I valued that even more than the 10 bucks I got for helping him move some boxes inside. I think of him often not because I was close to him, but because that experience set an impression that I have to this day, and also because on my walks I pass by that particular building he was moving into all the time. Every time I walk by, I remember that experience. To this day, it is one of my more vivid memories. Please offer my condolences. "
