Dear Lorna and Family,

I have know Jim since grade school. I was so saddened to read of his passing. Jim was a kind and compassionate person. I had the honor of going to school and working with him at Western Coal Carrier.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this time.

Sincerely,
Connie (McKinnon)Gragg
