It is with much sorrow that I read of the passing of Jim Wighton. As Business Manager of U.A.Local 552, I had the pleasure of getting to know him and his ability as a U.A. tradesman. He was a pleasure to associate with and his skills made him a desirable employee with any employer that he was referred to. I offer my sincere condolences to his family at this time. I have only fond memories of Jim as must be the case with all who knew him. God bless you Jim.
Sincerely, Dick Pearn.

Dear Family,

Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,
May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.

Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for a while, leave footprints on our hearts, and we are never, ever the same. ~Flavia Weedn,
