So sorry to hear about "Paw Paw" Jim. He was such an awesome man. He was a dear friend of my dad (Herbert A. Walker) and actually served with him in the Air Force. Mr. Jim also worked for my husband for many years at Ball Foods so he was like a member of my family. I will always remember him showing up at my dad's funeral in full dress blues!!!! If he was working when I went in Ball Foods, he would always stop what he was doing and greet me with a hug and kiss on the cheek. He was such a character and I will miss him dearly. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
