Dear Zimmerman Family,
It's no secret that Jim was a wonderful person that brightened everyone's life just by being in it. He was always genuinely happy to see you and it made him delightful to be around. He wasn't just a coworker to me, he was a friend and a mentor. The impact he had on my life is impossible to overstate. His mentorship taught me so much about being machinist and he inspired me to want to be better and learn more every day. Where I am today in my career can be traced directly back to that first day he trained me on programming a machine.
Though I've told him in the past how much he helped me I wanted to make sure you all know that Jim left my life better than it was before I met him.
Diane and Zimmerman family so sorry for the loss of your brother our prayers and sympathy are with you at this time may He
RIP Frances and
