Didn't get to see Jim often but I think every time I saw him he was smiling and he had a great smile. A success in life at work and with family but I will always remember that smile. So sorry I'm just finding out about his passing, a week later but glad I got to see you and your daughter today at the store Kathy. Prayers sent.
