    Jimmy once told me, "He didn't think there were any gas stations in Pittsburgh that he hadn't put up, taken down or fixed the sign". I know we did many over the years and it was always a pleasure to work with Jimmy and the JTB Sign crew. Doug Friend

    Jimmy Rahe was my brother-in-law, business partner and, most importantly, my friend. He was kind and considerate to everyone he knew and he had a gentle nature. I will always miss my "little brother" and lifelong friend.

    Alice and family. It brought me to tears to learn of Jimmys passing and of your loss of a true blessing to you to your entire family and to this earth and anyone he meet. He was a mountain of a man with a heart just as big. A soft spoken guy always willing to help and lend a helping hand anytime anywhere. I had the pleasure of working with him and after a while for him for several years. A brother of mine at heart a true loss to everyone he touched. Is love by many and will be missed by all who knew him. He is now in Gods house, and God now has another angel. Our thoughts and prayers will always be with you. Steve Diethorn also known as Big Bear. But Jimmy just called me Bear.Love you bro.
