Although it was many years since I worked for Mr. Ferman Sr, I will never forget the kindness and generosity he showed to me and to all his employees. You have our deepest sympathy and prayers.

I went all through Plant High School with Jimmy. He had such a fun sense of humor. One of my fondest memories of him is after high school when I was working as a telegraph operator at the Floridan Hotel Jimmy came in and sent a telegram to Martha - it said "I love you" 100 times!
