The world is a little smaller place without Jim in it. Jim and Josephine shine as a true example of partnership, love, and caring. I will never forget the privilege of working with both of you these past 15 years. All my love and prayers, gypsy spring

I was honored to have known James. He was a pioneer in apple production. He used refrigeration to extend the apple season, and developed markets that provided a more stable demand for his product.
