Natalie Austin wrote a sympathy message

“I remember Jim the most at Christmas; when we were small he always had a Christmas card for us with $5 in it that he gave us at "Soup Day" down at Potter's Mill. It made me feel grown up to get that card. Jim would whisper to us and ask if we thought we could get him some of Mom's Christmas cake in exchange for the cards, and then wink - he knew there was already a cake made especially for him each year. Great memories of a great man, our condolences to all his beloved family and friends.”
