Jimmy was a fine, fine man and a gentle human being. He and Pat will be incredibly missed by all who knew and loved them. Sympathies to the Small family. I am so terribly sorry for your loss.

"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime" reflects my memory of Jim. He interviewed me on a Sunday afternoon in 1976, and then took the time to teach me about sales and servicing the customer. I'm forever grateful for his lessons and wish Eddie and family God's grace during this difficult time.

I knew Jim, Pat and Sandy. Grateful that Jim gave me the opportunity and my start into outside sales, with the NCR Systemedia Div., many years ago. Knew Pat for her kindness and gentle spirit. RIP Jim, Pat and Sandy.
