Ellie and family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I have so many fond memories of growing up next door to the Walker house! And, as an adult, I always enjoyed Jim coming into Hannaford and chatting with me about this or that. He will certainly be missed, but is in a much better place healthy and happy and smiling at all of you.

Ellie and family,
To express sympathy in the loss of your loved one, Jim...and to let you know that many thoughts are with you. I've never forgotten the story you told me about what Jim said to you about being an airline stewardess.
