Jim always treated them like athletes and teammates, trying to build a camaraderie and a team element there. He feels they were very fortunate with some of the guys that they signed.

Her family had not had time to fly in from California yet. So my phone rings and it’s Dwayne. So it’s like, I don’t know what time it was where he was, it’s like the middle of the night where I was. It just shows he’s not too big to reach out to an old friend and offer the condolences”
