Yesterday, we said goodbye to Jim Williamson from Plain Nuts Deli & Catering. We are deeply saddened by this loss, a good man is gone too soon. He gave so much to the community and to me personally. I will miss him and his bright and generous spirit.
I truly enjoyed my time in the kitchen and at the front, working with the long-serving crew he had made into a family. I know he wanted to bring everyone back together after the fire, we all wanted that too. Now, we are left with memories and recipes and the tremendous impact he made. In these things, his team at the shop will carry on some part of his legacy.
I am grateful for what he left me so casually because of his big heart.... a chance to do something new that I love. Jim gave me the chance to try my hand at making fried pies. I was thrilled when he decided to put them on the menu. I really enjoyed making them. Jim would tease me a bit because I worked with a smile on my face, lost in my happy creation.
Those days were some of the best of my life. Simple, sweet, and good.
Rest well, Jim.
