Shirley-We've not meet but Jim was a Market room mate of ours for several years when he was at Broyhill. I was very saddened to hear of his passing. He and I had many late nite conversations that I will treasure forever. My deepest sympathies to you and your family.

Hi Shirley, We are just heartbroken over the news about Jim. We were just talking about him a few weeks ago and Bruce was saying that he needed to call him and see how things were going. I guess that proves that we should not put things off especially when it comes to keeping in touch. Please know that you and your family will be in our prayers. Jim was such a special guy and he will truly be missed by many. Love, Bruce & Sheila Poland

To Shirley and family,
I will always remember the friendship I shared with Jim while he was my Broyhill rep. He always brought a smile to our store when he visited. My deepest sympathy to you and yours.

To Shirley and the rest of the family I send my deepest condolences. I know how important family was to Jim. When I was working at Ashley he saw I was distressed one day ; one of my brothers was in crisis and he told me to go take care of him, family comes first. He was a good man and he left way too soon. God bless you in this time of sorrow.
