Barbara, so sorry to hear about Jim's passing. He was a very nice man.

Mr. Brink was my landlord at Hawthorne Street in the early 80's. He was kind enough to allow me a 6 month lease instead of the usual 12 month because I wasn't sure I would be staying in the area that long. He was a very respectful landlord providing an affordable rental option for people who were starting their careers and families. At the end of my lease he sent me a handwritten note thanking me for the condition in which I left the apartment. I was very surprised but never forgot it. It impressed me that he would take the time to do that. He was truly a southern gentleman and smart businessman. My sympathy to his family. May your faith give you comfort in this time of sorrow.

Tony and all, Jim will be greatly missed by all. I am sorry to hear of his passing, He certainly was a great man and definitely an asset to the Shoals area.

I REMEMBER JIM COMING BY MY FATHER'S STORE IN GREENHILL SELLING HIS CANDY. DAD AND I NEVER QUESTIONED HIS HONESTY, WE LET HIM STOCK THE CANDY, AND WERE ALWAYS PLEASED WITH HIS SERVICE. HE ALWAYS HAD A SMILE AND A FUN TALE TO TELL. AS A YOUNGSTER I ENJOYED HIS RETURN WITH THE SWEET THINGS. TRULY A GREAT GENTLEMAN.
