Jim and I worked at the J.N. Fauver Company for many years, and got to know him as a very caring considerate man. I always remember in one of the sales seminar he was instructing, his famous comeback to a purchasing agent or an engineers comment was "Oh"? then he would stop. He wanted to keep the party speaking to uncover other issues with their company. Still use that today when I want to know more information. I am sure when the big man upstairs starts talking, Jim will sit back and say " Oh"? Very good friend. Will miss him.

Jim, Jim Kosmyna, my brother Steve (now deceased) and I worked together at J.N. Fauver at 6979 Wales Road in Northwood back in the early 70s to the early 80s. Jim taught us about fluid power, business, and sales. He was a great influence on all of our lives. Personally, he taught me quite a bit about what it takes to be a professional business person and a better salesperson. Thank you, Jim and God bless you.

I got to ride on that nice big boat of Jim's! He even allowed our dog on board for a cruise down the river! He was the nicest guy and I had no idea how accomplished he really was. My most heartfelt sympathies to my sister-in-law, Carol and to Don on the loss of their brother and to all of Jim's children.

Jim, we never met and I am sorry about that. We must be distant cousins as my father, John, was also from Rossford. You're in a new place where you can continue inventing and inspiring your family and friends.
