Diane,
I am so sorry to hear of the untimely death of James. He was always an inspiration to me as an employee at South Florence. We had some real good discussions together and he always brought a laugh to me when I needed it. I have truly missed him since leaving South Florence 3 years ago.
I ran into him at Carolina Hardware not too long ago when I was in town one day and had a good talk with him.
Please know that you and the girls are in our thoughts and prayers as you go through these difficult times.
James was one of the finest men I have ever known.
Sincerely,
Mike Gilbert
