James B. Wallace

great guy

Jimmy thanks for all the great memories. Always enjoyed my cherry cokes and friends I made along the way. R.I.P. dear Jimmy.

I have very fond memories of Jimmy at the soda shop. Jimmy was always very sweet and friendly with all the kids. He pulled a large iced glass for us and gave us our first taste of cherry or vanilla coke, straight from the fountain, with the appropriate syrup added in front of your eyes. When he added the seltzer, it was just the beginning because after he gave you the glass and straw he would pour some extra coke in a glass, look you in the eye and ask "are you ready?" You better start...

What a shock to learn of your passing. Our friendship has covered over 75 years. My sister Ombra and Bernice were high school friends and Ombra loved the tuna and egg salad sandwiches Pearl made at the drug store. Bet there will be a big reunion in the great beyond. You are missed.

Fond memories of you and your store on the corner of Ridgeway & Dewey, how you suffered our juvenile behavior and also mentored us, my mother loved you. rest in peace Jimmy.

Thank you for your friendly smile & for always putting extra "Chocolate Jimmies" on my ice cream cones! With you behind the counter, there was always a ray of sunshine! Thanks for the memories & touching my life as a young girl growing up on Ridgeway Avenue.

REST IN PEACE JIMMY WALLACE

Mr. Wallace was one of the nicest men I have ever had the opportunity to get to know. He always smiled and made me smiled. Thank you allowing me to know you.
