Memories and Condolences

To the family of Jim - He has been our mailcarrier for so many years. He was like part of the Landex family. We will miss our Monday morning talks about football. He was always wearing a smile and always greeted us while delivering our mail and knew us all by our first name. On behalf of Landex, we send our sincere thoughts and prayers. It was an honor to have known him.

Can't believe it! I will always appreciate what Jim did for my daughters regarding North Glen softball. He is the best! Gary Schmedes

I am so sorry for your loss. I was a Linthicum resident for 44 years until moving out of state. I always enjoyed talking to Jimmy. He delivered our mail and we used to chat about Andover and the good ole days. Your entire family is in my prayers.

To Jayne and all the family, I am so so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. This is so sad. I just saw him delivering mail at my dentist office in Linthicum a week or two ago and I thought about what a nice man he's always been... from preschool days to church days, school days, and LF days, and receiving our mail he was truly a light in this world! I am so sorry for this loss. Praying for you all. Margaret Wiltrout and family.

Jane,
I'm sorry to hear of Jim's passing. He was always a positive person. I've known him since high school. He was great with the kids and Marlo always liked having him for a coach. He was a great husband and father. He was fun to be around too! My prayers go to you and your family.
