Christopher Luongo
My late father, Bill Luongo, was friends with Jim and also worked for him for a period of time at his gun shop in Stoneham. Even before he worked there, when I was a teenager, we'd visit his shop quite often. Jim would let me buy whatever Mag-Lite flashlight I wanted from his store, for only what he paid for it from the factory. He was very generous. I was very young when I knew him, but he was a good man, and fun and funny. Not long after my father moved to Danville, Jim and his then-girlfriend Beth moved to Danville as well, and they'd sometimes all carpool to work together. He and my father somehow lost touch over the years after Jim moved to Florida, but my father always remembered Jim and always spoke well of him. I know they did talk on the phone once at some point. I'm sorry to hear of Jim's passing, and hopefully his family and friends will see this message and know that he is not forgotten.
