So sorry to hear of Jim's passing. My wife Peg and I always refer to Jim as one of the nicest people in Berea. A friend and neighbor who always wore a smile. Rest in Peace Jim.

Wonderful neighbor, and a longtime friend. Jim and Sally's children, and ours, pretty much grew up together. Good memories. We will always remember his smile. Our prayers are with the entire Blatnik family..PS: So helpful at the Suburban Clock Shop. The Knopf Family (Gary, Joan, Joanna and Chris)
