From all of the Dairy Queen operators in the Dayton area and through out the International Dairy Queen system, it we are sorry to hear about Jim's passing. Jim was very instrumental as our local chairman for many years. He did a awesome job in keeping the DQ owners unified. Jim also led us all in supporting Children's Miracle Network. Jim, you were a kind gentle giant in the Dairy Queen system and a great mentor to us all.
May the Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let the perpetual light shine upon them.May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen
