Jim, may you rest in peace and traveled to a better place. Some of my best memories were working with you at the VVCSO catching bad guys and drug smugglers on the rio grande river. It was a privilege and a pleasure working for you on patrol.
To the Sunderland family, my condolences and a speedy recovering to Jimmy Jr..
