Dear Pat, I am so very sorry for you and your family. I have many memories of my childhood that are connected to the Gimotty family when Jim and I lived in Detroit. I have a few pictures of Jim and some of the “Mettetal” gang when we were children. If your family is interested, I will be happy to send copies. Please let me know.

Hi Pat,
You have my deepest sympathy on the passing of your beloved Jim. May the light of his life shine upon you and his loved ones now and forever. I’ll always remember him from Cody as a polite, neat and stand out great guy.

Pat, I was thinking about Total Travel today, as I was making some calls to travel agents at my current job. I’m sorry for your loss. I only worked at Total Travel for a little while back in the early ’80s, but I remember you and Jim fondly.

Pat, Rosie and I send our heartfelt sympathy to you and your family. Since Jim and I were safety patrol boys at Coolidge Elementary in Detroit, almost seventy years ago, it was a joy to have Jim as a friend. After graduation from Cody High School, for more than 50 years, sharing stories with Jim and our boyhood friends about our Detroit boyhood has been very special. As you said, Jim had a good run and it was good to have been a part of Jim’s run. Love, Bill and Rosie Ralls.
Thank you for all of your wonderful words. Lots of great memories.
We send our sincere sympathy during this difficult time…
Dear Pat,
I was so saddened to hear of Jim’s passing. He was a prince. I have many fond memories of growing up with him in Grandale. He was always my big brother Bill’s friend but treated me with such kindness. My heart goes out to you and your family at this sad time.
With love and deepest sympathy,
Sandra Ralls Morris

I worked with Jim at GE Plastics in Atlanta from 1981 to 1985, only now do I realize what a Great boss and wonderful friend Jim was. I was very saddened to hear the news only now while addressing Christmas cards.
