We knew Jim from meeting Him at the Village at Mill Landing. It was always a pleasure to see Him & talk with Him. He was a Gentleman. We miss seeing Him.
We’ll also miss seeing Him at Jim’s Restaurant.
I’m Sorry for your loss. I am going home on the 6th and can’t pay my respects sorry.
Our condolances to your family. Your father was a great friend. Donna and Ron Linzenbold
Mary Kay and family,
My deepest sympathies to all of you on the passing of your dad. He was my favorite boss at RG&E. Along with work he always took an interest in my family. Our days always started with him, Paul Hallock and I sharing family updates. Even after he retired I could always count on him for a donation to my daughter Lindsay’s Juvenile Diabetes walk team. He was a true gentleman and will be sadly missed.
Jim and Cheryl I am so sorry for your loss. It looks like he had a wonderful life. Thoughts and prayers to you and your family.
