Pat,
I was going through the obits since my Dad just died and I saw that your father has just died too.  I’m sorry for your loss–we are going through this at the same time and it is so difficult.  I’m sure you miss your dad as I do mine.  We as a family have been supporting each other in this loss and am sure you are doing the same.  Take care.

Jim was my leadman in Dept 528 at RCA many years ago. He was very nice to work with, a real mellow fellow
I don’t ever remember him losing his cool.
He was always very helpful and gave good guidance when I needed it.
I have good memories of him. I am glad to have known him.
Rest in peace Brother.
Carl Eddins
