By chance I ran into former Hollywood Officer Archie Hart. He asked about Jim, whom I did not know, but my Mom Nancy did. Kind words all around and I’m sorry I never got to know him better.

Jim Prigodich has left an everlasting memory in our lives. Cheryl and I were the first couple ever to be married in a Mosonic Lodge in the state of Florida on January 26, 1980. A very dear and personal friend of ours performed the cerimony. His name was Jim Prigodich. We will never forget Jim and his dedication and love to his fellow Masons and friends. May God Bless and Keep Jim in His Celestrial Lodge Forever and Ever. Amen
