To the family of Jim Bond,
Please accept my condolences for your loss.
I worked with Jim at K-Mart when he was promoted to Manager. Going from being a co-worker to being an employee of Jim's was an easy transition as he was a great manager. Always nice and fun to work with. Although it has many years since I have seen Jim, I remember his kind smile and big heart no matter the situation.
