I have been a customer of Jim's for many years. I stopped by last weekend, and, finding the storefront empty did some searching online. I was so sad to find that he was no longer with us. I always enjoyed his stories, and his willingness to share his knowledge kept me coming back. A good man that will be missed by many. My deepest sympathy and prayers go out to you, Mary Lou, and your family.

I only knew Jim through the Sewing Machine store for many years....always very pleasant and helpful...always enjoyed visiting with Jim & Mary Lou. I felt very bad for Jim and Mary Lou in the last few visits seeing his health decline. I met a couple of your children and knew they were very devoted to you as I am sure the rest were also. Prayers and thoughts to your whole family. Dot Masengale (customer)
