    Oh no, my son and I worked with Jamie at bakers square by Lincoln mall. We always had such a great time. We loved him and his huge heart. Prayers and more prayers to the family. We lost touch years ago. Sure wished we hadn’t.

    We knew Jamie as one of the fun hearted guys who visit us every spring in Minnesota on Leech lake. He will be missed. We send our deepest sympathy to Jamie’s family and to his fishing buddies he joined every year here.

    I work at Dutch American Foods here off main street in Crete. I happened to be outside and seen the hurst and parade of city vehicles following. Condolences and prayers to his family. A angle returns back above.
