This message is to Brandon and Ally: We are so sorry about your dad. He was a great friend and neighbor, and it was through him that we got to meet you. We loved when you visited and especially when you brought Sully and played with our grandkids, Emily and Ashley. We will never forget the short time we knew your dad, and hope that we can keep in touch with you in the future. May God bless and keep you.

Although Jim and I had lost touch over the past few years I will remember him with fondness of the years past at Lanier, Harris, and Harris/3M. The "Pick" was one of the best sales professionals I have ever known in all my years in business. He was a good man and loyal friend. Pick would do anything he could to help someone in need. Rest in Peace my friend you will be missed.
