    To Jim’s family – hard to think of Jim as a grandfather what with our association at Eastman Kodak being so many years ago.
    I still can see him bopping around Data Processing and Payroll smiling and friendly to everyone. Generally had a story to share. Lost my husband to Parkinson’s a couple years ago. Nasty disease, and there is a dementia that goes along with it.
    Sorry for your loss, but glad Jim is no longer suffering and unwell. Remembering him fondly, and send my sincere condolences.

    Condolences to Jim’s family. We grew up in Dutchtown and he was always the fun guy to be around. I wish we had found out sooner so we could pay our respects to his family. May his soul rest in peace.
