I just found out today Jim passed away. , I live in Cobblestone Condos and met Jim and his wife. We started talking and found out he worked with my dad, John Tobin, at Deeds Dairy. We continued to reminisce about our families. Every time I took my walk, Jim and I would always have a friendly hello. I miss that. Loved his connection with my memories! I am so sorry for your loss!
