Dear Livingston Family,
Please accept our condolences on the passing of Jimmy. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Jimmy was such a pleasure to work with for all those years. He was such a gentleman and I looked forward to seeing him when he would stop by the office to visit even his retirement. He was so very proud of his family and spoke of you often. I know he will be deeply missed. With sympathy, Roberta A. Schwendt
