Kathy and I are so saddened to hear of Jim’s passing. Kathy grew up knowing Jim when he serviced her moms beauty salon. Then when we opened our own salon Jim took care of us for many years. He’ll always be remembered as a fun loving and generous man. God Bless all.

I started at Service Beauty Supply in 1985 and Jim quickly became a mentor and friend. We worked together over 30 years together and I tried to model myself after him because of his work ethic and how he treated everybody. He was such a giving person and was always there for everybody. We lost a GREAT ONE. RIP my friend
