Roz I seen Jim jr. yesterday and I was shocked when he told me of Jims passing. I was thinking of him a few days ago and wondered how the both of you were doing. I always considered Jim my best friend. In business and personal life, he was a wonderful person. He was always there for me and my family. My father passed away a few years ago and with age you know that will happen, but I admit when I heard the news of Jims passing it has hit me pretty hard and I wanted you to know he was a great person. The best to you and your family.
