Jim was a great guy and always there when you needed him. When things seemed bad Jim had a way of making them better with a joke and a grin and real solutions to a problem. He will be missed and our thoughts are with his family.

What good fortune we had to get Jim Timmes to join the AKZO team and be part of the famous or better known as the "Infamous Retail Division". Jim was at his best when he had an audience to entertain. I'm sure Jim is putting together a foursume in the big golf course that has no out of bounds and no bogies. Every person that came in contact with Jim is the better for it. We love you Jim Timmes!

What a great sense of humor. Jim could say more with expressions than most people can with vocabulary. My condolences to all that loved him.
