I shared many good times at Williams Apothecary with Jim .I will always remember the character he brought to the Monday evenings we worked together. Williams has missed him greatly and I have missed depending on him. Your family has my thoughts and prayers.

My deepest sympathy to the entire family.  We are friends of Annette and Dave and traveled with them to China in 2003.  You are all in my prayers.

Kim & Andrew Merkert and girls

Everyone at IMCO always enjoyed Jim with his interactions with us as a member of our buying association.  Jim was always "upbeat" and brought joy to those around him.  It was a special treat for us to see him each year at the annual IMCO convention.  He was well liked by everybody.  We’ll miss him.

I always enjoyed Jim’s visits (sales calls)at the doctor’s office; he made the day a little brighter!  It so happened that Jim and my husband shared a love of postcards/stamps. Our thoughts and prayers will be with your family.
