“Ahhh Jim my friend, you will be missed. Our paths crossed at Richfood where we worked side by side doing grocery store resets. We had so much fun! It was work but your humor and laughter always brightened the day. Miss seeing you directing traffic at Fairmount. I know you are up there celebrating with those you love.. I pray your family finds the peace and comfort knowing that you will always be remembered as a wonderful man and loved by many❤️ your friend, Pam Hoy Rigsby”
