Our thoughts and prayers are with the Sellick family.
I worked with Jim for many years in the mortgage banking business and thought so much of him. .
May God grant you peace as you grieve for him.

Jim was my first boss in banking when I was a teller in Yarmouth before going onto graduate school and then a 32 year career in banking! His office was always busy with real estate deals and I’m sure our staff of Diana Jones, Kristina Vollmer, Sandy Desgardins, Evelyn Perkins, and Lorna Bonsey would all agree he was a hard working, super nice person to work for and with. He was a team player and I have fond memories of my first boss in banking!
I am so sorry for your loss.
