August 17, 2016 at 10:44 amDear Owen Family,
I was so sorry to hear of Jim’s death. I remember Jim from so many years ago when my father-in-law, Bill White, was living and Jim was then employed at the Campbell Street location. I know that he was a valued employee of our company, but more than that, he was a wonderful man and cared deeply about his family and friends. God bless all of you as you deal with the loss in his passing. I consider myself fortunate to have known him for all these years.
