James W. Petefish Jr. (“Jim”), age 61, was a long time Toano resident. After successful careers in the restaurant and retail industries he found a passion in computer technology.

On July 26,2019 he finally discovered the secrets of the universe that he sought to learn in life. We wish he was here.
