I will always remember Jim interviewed me for my first real job out of college for the Batesville Guard and got hired and spent six great years with them and the Jones family. Afterwards being in the ad agency business we did a lot of business with Jim at Riverside Graphics for many years. Hated to hear about this sad time! He was always a great friend!
