Sending thoughts and prayers to Jim’s family. He became one of my favorite customers and after living here for almost 6 years, the only neighbor I know. His wine drop offs, the constant compliments towards my husbands yard work or trying to sell us a new car or talk me into my next cruise on royal. He always made everyone around him want to listen to his stories. You’ll be missed Jim!
So sorry to hear of Jim's passing. I became friends with him through Al and Mary Kay Bolles and really enjoyed his company. He had so many stories, especially of his boat racing days. I enjoyed talking to him about his wine, the new boat we recently bought or even just the weather. I will miss driving in to 2 Tony's and seeing his Suburban in the lot and knowing that Jim was inside and I was in for some great stories. My sincere condolences to all of his family, as was one of the great ones.
