As the years pass by it's still very hard to know that Jimmy has left us. The only comfort is that I know he's not in any pain anymore. He was a good friend and always a happy person. My memory of Jimmy will always be of him with a cup of coffer in one hand and a cigarette in the other. Sure do miss you my dear friend of many years, we worked together and laughed together. R.I.P. dear Jimmy.

Jimmy, thanks for 25 years of good, happy times over many pink drinks at the Salmon House and Sundays with Bear and Doc and the band at your deli. May you rest in peace and your spirit be free. We'll see you again one day. My heartfelt condolences to Darlene, Jimmy and Craig and all of Jimmy's family and loved ones.

My late husband Ron and I were "regulars" at the Marina coffee shop many years ago. We often went to his hamburger joint too. Jim was a great guy - say Hi to Ron, Jim....
