    Jim was a VERY special guy. Intergrity and honesty was his foundation. I always enjoyed working with him and looked forward to seeing him at PMA. Personable and a great sense of humor. I'm just one, but Jim had many retailer friends in our Produce Industry. He will be missed, but not forgotten. My heart goes out to Theresa and his family... Ed Odron, an old Produe friend.
