As this earth loses a great man, god receives a great angel. You will be remembered as my first supervisor, the man who took time to help to help me buy my first car.
I send my prayers and condolences.

Jamie was full of life. He was always ready and willing to help anyone at any time. I've seen him in action at work running to make sure employee's were safe and little things like making sure some co- workers got his special coffee even if he forgot to put coffee in the coffee maker!!! He has been missed and now will be missed here in the (everyone's), office. To the family, we just sit and talked about Jamie, we have been waiting for him to come back it hurts us to see him leave and not get to say goodbye.
