I WANTED TO LET DAVE KNOW THT JIM'S DAD HAD PASSED IN 1977 AND LITTLE JIM PASSED AWAY IN DECEMBER 22, 2009. THE DAY AFTER HIS 25TH BIRTHDAY.
HE ALREADY KNOWS NOW. HE'S IN A GOOD PLACE NOW AND HIS LIFE HAS JUST BEGUN THERE!

Dear Joan, Diane and Family,
I was deeply saddened to hear of David's passing. He was my train conductor for quite sometime when I worked downtown. And then most recently I was able to meet all of you and your family during all your visits to the restaurant in the past several years. I always remember David as having a wonderful sense of humor and a strong sense of family. He was so lucky to have the strong family he did. God Bless all of you, your whole family is in my prayers.

Dave, reading this in the newspaper I couldnt help thinking of the Tim Mcgraw song. If your reading this Im already home. Rest easy my friend. Its been a hell of a ride. And you gave it all it could handle and then some. Hope you dont mind I cracked open that Crown out in the man cave Friday. Needed a little dancin juice to settle the nerves.
