Janet,sorry for your loss,I can remember all the times you and Jim came to the customer service desk at Price Chopper. Your smile and kindness was always sweet .God Bless
Janet, and family,This is such a shock. Carol and I were never told of Jimmy’s passing. We are so sorry for you and family.
We don’t get the paper, so we did not see. Had we known we would have been to his funeral.
We saw Jim outside just a while ago and we waved. He was a great neighbor,always ready to talk to you, offering a helping hand when needed. He helped me plant our maple trees on the side of the house. We will miss seeing him with you. Anything I am able to do please let me know. Mike Elmore and Carol Daly
