To Nancy and family...may each treasured memory bring you comfort and peace. We will miss Jim and I have many fond memories of Jim going back to my Norton days. I met Jim during my employement with Norton and at that time Belanger was a valued customer. I entertained Jim and staff prior to having him as my guest at the Michigan Speedway. At that time I was in charge of the Norton Spirit Racing program, 1973. It was Jim that made certain I would witness my first Indianapolis 500. It was rained out and I was standing in line waiting to check in for my flight to Albany, NY. I believe Jim had just put Mrs. Belanger on a plane home. Jim saw me and bodily took me out of line and told me, your going to the race with me! We did, sat in the owner's suite and we both watched the Indianapolis 500. Thanks Jim! Please know how deeply you're wished the gentle comfort of cherished memories.
