My condolences to the LaFrance family at this difficult time. I first met Jim while unloading freight on a hot and steamy summer morning as a new employee at FEDEX. Jim introduced himself to me as the station manager and proceeded to out work everyone, all while wearing a 3 piece business suit. True leaders lead by example. That moment has stayed with me for nearly 30 years. Jim was a fair, honest and hard working man. He will be surely missed by all. My prayers to the LaFrance family.
