WE sure do miss you, Jim! I will forever remember what I used to say to you everyday at work, "Jim, you may not be the fastest person, but you sure do good work!" And, he would just say, "Thanks!" MTS won't be the same without you, that's for sure, and our "team" hasn't been the same without your smiling face!!! Your family is being wished much love and blessings during this time.

Kenny, Matt, Dave, Larry, Darryl, Sean, John, Wilbur, and Robert

Jimbo – You were like a little brother to Joe and I. One of us would watch you on Saturday mornings while your mom and dad were at the shop working. Then you would come down to our house to hang out. I can still picture you standing by the two telephone poles in our front yard, your face between the poles wearing a large sombrero and smiling ear to ear. God bless and comfort your kids during this most difficult time. On behalf of the O'Donnell family we extend our sincere condolences to Cathy, Elaine and your kids.
