Dear Francis and family members, I was very saddened to hear of Jimmy's passing. Jimmy and I worked together for many years at the Shipyard. I have often thought of Jimmy and procrastinated in contacting him, and this I will always carry with me.
May God bless you in your time of grief and know that my thoughts and prayers go out to you and Jimmy's family.
