October 14 2023 and hope that their memory may be a source of comfort during this difficult time. Your thoughts and kind words are greatly appreciated.
Jim was a man that I admired dearly. He was a hardworking dedicated employee that had a true passion for his work. He was never afraid to give a hand or advice. I remember this one Saturday shift he gave me chicken wire to unload and apologized, it was not the container anyone wanted. I laughed and said no problem, I’ll see you back there. Shortly after the shift started Jim showed up and dug right in to help. He would do anything to help out, truly a Foreman to be admired. I think about him often. Condolences to the family,
Brad Smith
