Dear Mrs. Gillum,
I just now learned about Mr. Gillum. I am so sorry for your loss. I don't know if you remember me, but you and Mr. Gillum came up to my house in Fairfax County when I donated my father's railroad memorbilia. He was such a nice man and I'm very sorry that he's gone.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. The best thing about being a part of the Circuit City family was knowing Jim Gillum.

Mrs. Gillum,
My thoughts and sympathy to you and your family in the loss of your husband, a father and grandfather. I meet Jim when I first started at Circuit City and he was very kind and sincere and always had a smile for everyone. May God always watch over you.

Jim will certainly be missed by the members of the Norfolk and Western Historical Society. The society, and particularly the archives, would not be where they are today without his efforts through the years.
