Very sorry to hear about your Dad, Dean. I have many, many great memories of him at Miller where we worked together for many years. As I've always said; Memories, you can bring then up over and over and they never grow old. Greeny
Jim became my roommate at the Vallhaven Care Center in Neenah when he was in rehabilitation for his leg and hip injury. We had many a conversation about the Battleship USS North Carolina of the Washington Class and looked up photographs on my computer. Jim kept a daily journal which I hope the family has found and kept. It would certainly be a good window on Jim's life. He worked diligently on his goal to stand up from his power chair with the aid of a grab bar. Jim was able to return home to Joyce after having a wheelchair ramp and other accessibility modifications added to the house on Byrd Avenue. His employment at Miller Electric, of which he was very proud, was often a topic of
discussion, telling me he had worked in every division of the company Our time together is a very pleasant memory,
I was saddened to read of Jim's passing. He and Joyce were such wonderful people. I enjoyed bantering with him whenever I would see him at Neenah Shopko. He was quite a character. They were always together and now they are reunited for eternity. My condolences to you all.
