So sorry to hear of your loss. I had the pleasure of working as a temp for Dr. Harder one week back in the late 80´s. He was such a nice man to work for. My deepest condolences to John and family.

Jim was such a wonderful man to work with in the sale of their home here on Greenwood Acres. He was fun to visit with and was easy to learn from. I have great memories of that time.
