Well done Jim. There's going to be a Centennial Celebration at Harvey in about a month. It sounds like many of our classmates will attend. You will be fondly remembered; your Dad too. Blessings to you and your family, Nat Norton

Debbie, Payson, Brooksie and Hilary,
John and I are thinking of you all as this second year of Jim's passing goes by. There are so many great memories of the time I worked with Jim. Always, always you were first in his mind and we all knew it. There are people in each of our lives who we meet who make us better persons . Jim made a great difference in my life and I became better for having known him. Your support of him coming to Atlanta made it possible for all of us at Cox to...

Debbie, Payson, Brooksie and Hilary,
Phil and I continue to think of you and your loss. Phil recently took a wonderful position with Cox Communications. He has met so many Cox people who knew and adored Jim, many of who have said that he was their mentor. I just wanted you to know that Jim touched so many lives and continues to do so. We are sorry we could not be at the Atlanta memorial service, but you are in our thoughts often.
Love to you all..........

We Hubbard sailors thank him for his service to his nation and the Navy. He was a Harry E. Hubbard destroyerman whose contributions to the United States will not be forgotten.

Sadly, I only learned of Mr. Robbins' passing at the recent JDRF gala in ATL. I was used to seeing his face at each gala since I started attending them myself back in the 80's. There will be a void in the JDRF-Atl community and certainly a void in the business community. We cannot replace the void in your hearts, but please accept this humble condolence.

Hay as I walk thru the valley of death I will fear no evil for the Lord is my shepard and I shall not want,for he carries me thru beautiful pastures

Hi Hilary:

It's been years since we've spoken, but I saw the news of your father's passing and wanted to extend my sympathies. I wish you and your family the best during this difficult time.

Warmest Regards,
