Jim, was a "Trucker", a special breed that will surely be missed. It was always a pleasure to talk trucking and family.

Jim has been a business associate of mine for over 10 years. I have called on his transportation expertise many times and always valued the wise advice he would offer. The business relationship pales in comparison to the friendship we developed. Jim became one of the closest friends that Robin and I have. We will forever cherish the fond memories we have of Jim.
