My prayers are with the Newman family during this difficult time. Jimmie was very instrumental to my success at the Chalmette Refinery. His guidance and work ethics were super, and I appreciated his character. It was a pleasure knowing Jim during this lifetime, and I look forward to seeing him again in the next.
