James was a wonderful man. We all have fun stories and memories of Jimmy from his many days at El Paso Electric. A memory I have is he brought a bologna sandwich to work every single day. When he retired I decorated his retirement cake to look like a giant bologna sandwich. He is missed at El Paso Electric.
