im Rish and I were co-workers on the SC Highway Patrol for about five years in the late 50s and early 60s. I thought of Jim Rish as a friend as well as a co-worker. My sincerest sympathy and condolences for his family and friends. David Barrineau, Retired Special Agent, ATF, San Antonio, Texas

Mr. Rish was a dedicated employee of Palmetto Propane/Havird Oil for many years. Even after his retirement he would always come by to visit at the Lexington Office and bring one of his 4 legged friends. He will be greatly missed. A donation was made in his honor to Pets Inc.
