Cheryl and Family: Our Sympathies to all. Such a tough loss.
Sorry to hear of his passing. I knew him all my life. He always was a good friend. Loved to talk to him. My prayers to Cheryl and family. I will miss him.
My sincerest sympathy.. Always enjoyed him and my Jim at the Railroad Inn…
We knew Jim as a regular customer from the old North Freedom Railroad Inn. His toast order was always: burnt! (Claimed the charcoaling was good for you). So whenever the smoke would billow out of the kitchen; be assured Jim was in the house. Hard working; wry humorist… Many fond memories.
So sorry for your loss! Sending prayers and thinking of you all! Bob and Cindy
