Dear Pat and family......Jim and I,as you may remember,were supervisors in the same dept at NiMo for approx 11 years..Just wanted you to know that you have my deep sympathies.
You could say that Jim broke me in.He was a Good Guy;well liked and respected by his subordinates and management alike. Most important, I think,was his devotion to God and his family. We left NiMo together . I hope Jim did not suffer greatly.
However,as my late wife put it: "Neal,we are not meant to be absolutely happy on earth.
Rather ,this happiness that we strive for is a condition we are rewarded with in Heaven."
I'm positive Jim's family can count on Jim's happiness

Patti, Bob and I were so saddened to hear of Jimmy’s passing. He’s been such a fighter all these years. I loved all his stories and sharing our times at “Fit Stop” with both of you. These are trying times for the family....just remember that he was the best. You had a winner and cherish all those good times you had together. I’ll give you a call when we return back to Syracuse.
Lauri and family,so sorry for your loss
