So very sorry for your loss. We worked with Jim for many years and Sheri. I believe everyone that worked at Berkeley has a pocket knife Jim sold them. Still carry mine. God bless you all. Rick and Kathy Walker.

I was saddened to hear about the loss of Jim. He was always so positive & never saw him in a bad mood. A truly uplifting person. I'm sorry I couldn't make it to the commemoration this past Monday. He will continue to live on in all our hearts. The blade he gave to me now holds much more sentimental value. I'll always think of how great of a man he was & how his generousity was unparalleled. Blessings to all of those family members & friends.
