Jimmy Carothers

To the entire Gallagher Family, I would like to extend my heartfelt sympathy on learning of Jim's passing. Jim was my boss at the old B & O . He'd get right in there to help all the guys with their work. He loved talking about going for his airplane license. He was a very good Christian. May perpetual light shine upon his soul.
