Pam and family,

It was a beautiful service today. I think his friend Bill, the first speaker, really captured a lot of Jimmy in his words. I always knew Jimmy would do anything he could for anyone. He had a good kind heart, and you are the same my dear. I have admired you for years, wondering how you cope with things the way they were and maintain every day.

You also deserve a halo.

Jim was a very nice guy with a real good sense of humor. We worked at West at the same time...a short time...he was smarter than me and left before I did. Later he sold my husband some tools. He spoke fondly of his family.
