“Years ago I worked with Jim and Barbara at CopiesNow. In fact I even cat/plant sat for them a few times! You both popped in my mind recently. I have so many good memories from you two. Jim used to always sing songs with his own words bc he forgot the lyrics. Whenever I'd tell him something annoyed me he'd say "well, they said nice things about you", even if it was an inanimate object! Great times, great memories. So sorry for your loss Barbara and family. You'll be in my thoughts -Kristen Rocco”
