Dear Trina,
Thank you for calling us to make us aware your Dad, and our dear friend, had passed away.
We have many fond memories of numerous social events with Jim and Tally during the 1970s when we were all associated with the insurance claims business and the Columbus Claims Association. And during all of the years since that era we have cherished that friendship.
I will always remember our annual lunches and fun conversations over the course of the past decade or so. He always spoke so fondly of you and his grandchildren. Jim would always give me a few pens he acquired from the Huntington Banks's over-supply and say, "Take it easy babe". I very much wish that we could meet again this year.

With heart felt condolences,

Fred and Carole
