Our deepest sympathy and condolences to Jim's family. He always loved watching his grandkids at their sporting events. I always made a point to talk to him after those games. He was so proud. Jim was also a skilled tool and die craftsman. I will always be forever grateful, for him giving me an opportunity in manufacturing over 40 years ago. He also pushed me to pursue an engineering degree. Jim was a quiet leader and well respected during his career. Jami and I pray that God blesses you all with the wonderful memories of a life well lived by a true gentleman.
