To Jane and Family,
In remembrance of happier days when we were all a whole lot younger and Scoler's was THE place to meet.It always felt like
a "home away from home". Whether it was Jimmy's smile, handshake, and warm welcome,the extra bowl of pickles that suddenly appeared on the table, those huge pieces of rum pie, or the endless cups of coffee, the geniality he inherited others have tried to copy but there will never be another Jimmy, or a place like Scolers. Jimmy's untimely passing is noted with much sorrow and may he rest in peace. May those customers and family who predeceased him welcome him now with open arms.
