I was very sorry to hear about Jim as we were  good friends.
You and your family have our deepest  sympathy.

Davida, you and Jim have been in my life from somewhere in the late sixties or early seventies and what gifts you have shared. I carry many memories of you both and your children over years of support at many different times.  

I share  the sadness you all feel  at such  a tremendous  loss .

Among the many memories I will carry with me  for the rest of my days is Jim making lunch for you and I Davida, not that many years ago. 

A glorious shrimp sandwich on a croissant..he pulled out all the stops as I recall was his way throughout his life.

I cherish all that we have shared and send my biggest hugs to you all with hopes that there is some comfort there for you. love rae

Sharing your sorrow at the loss of someone so dear, With 
Sincerest Sympathy

Davida  and family,

I am so sorry to hear about Jim’s passing. I remember in October 1979 I went for an interview with Jim for a receptionist job. He asked me why I was applying for this job, as I had just completed a legal assistant course. At that time I was only 18 years old and said that if I took the job it would only be for a couple of months. I needed to get some experience. I still have no idea why he hired me.

 Well 11 years later, I finally had to say good bye to Perimeter Transportation. I was on maternity leave and was supposed to return to work in a couple of weeks when I found out I was expecting our third child. I decided it was time, one of the hardest decisions in my life. Way back then it wasn’t just a company you worked for, everyone was like a family. We are still in touch with quite a few people we worked with. Baseball games, parties,Friday afternoon wine time and lots of laughter are a few of my best memories. We had so many good times I couldn’t name them all. 

I met my husband Mike, who was a driver at Perimeter at the time . We will be celebrating our 40th Anniversary next year. We have 4 wonderful children and two precious grandchildren (hopefully more to come.) My life has truly been wonderful. All it took was Jim hiring me and that set the path for the rest of my life. In case I never said it, thank you Jim. 

Sarena
