Kittie;Saw Jim’s Passing in The Lancaster Newspaper. Would see him At The Car Shows and would save him a place near our Car’s when we could. He would say that you helped him get his’57 Cadillac ready. I don’t know if you remember me or not but I worked with Clayton (Gene) Weaver At Alcoa and would often talk to you on the CB Radio with you and Gene after working 3-11 Shift.
Our Condolence to you on your loss.

Jim Heller was a fine gentleman and I so enjoyed knowing him through work at Pennsylvania Scale during the good days and catching up at car shows- it was easy to find him; just look for the ’58 Cadillac. He always had a smile and kind word. Jim was one of the Good Guys and will be missed. Deepest sympathy to Mrs. Heller and family.
