I am shocked to hear of the passing of James. I had no idea he was ill. I worked with him at Harris Teeter, at a different location. My condolences and sympathy to his sister Margaret and family.

Sad to hear of JT's passing. Saw him just last year with his family at Tim's funeral after over 35 years. So glad that I was in the company of my childhood friends. We were also good neighbors. Much love to the Sweat family.
