His shop was at the other end of the village, located just to the east of the present Walas Funeral Home at 124 Main Street. His shop was very small, and located very close to the sidewalk, and their white frame home was just to the north (with stain glass over the two large front windows). This little shop now sits just to the north of Proctor House. Jimmy was a small gentleman in stature, but great in heart, and that cute smile, and twinkle in his eyes was always evident.
  I remember him with small tacks between his lips and carrying on a conversation with the locals. As a young student, I, with friends who lived in that area, would go after school for a visit. After the usual conversation, we would often buy a soft drink in a glass bottle or a chocolate bar for about five to seven cents and our day was made. He was always kind and seemed interested in our tales. This was also a place for the local folk to catch up on the daily news of the village, discuss politics and the state of the world. Many a student was late for an early dinner because they had stopped in at "Jimmy Hale's" shop for just a "minute". But in those days, there was not the same concern with young folk if you were a few minutes late, as we were all creatures of habit and did not vary much in a day. Both these gentlemen went about their work with a smile, and lived a good simple life. Jimmy was married to wife Alice, (Ally) and had one son, Jack, well- known in the area for the love of always having the latest, shiniest vehicle in Brighton. This was his true love!" from page 285 of "That's Just The Way We Were: Brighton Memories".¹³
