  6. My thoughts & Prayers are with you all during this sad time, and In coming days.
    Jim worked at fire station #4, with my late father, Bobby “Snuffy” Zeagler.
    I know they are up In Heaven, arguing about spices in cooking. They did that a lot at the station .
    Rest In Peace Old Friend. Till We Meet Again.
