Not sure what to say?

Jim holds a special place in our hearts! He was devoted to Martha, his lovely family and truly a sweet friend! His smile, laughter, thoughtfulness and caring gestures are held dearly in our hearts. We enjoyed our dinners together, car talk and tv/movie reviews! Our love and thoughts are with Martha and the wonderful family. Benjy and Joyce

I met Jim & Martha for the first time in a BG CSTL event, when I started working with their dear daughter, Gina, in 2021. Jim was very quait, warm & a attentive listener to our conversation and responded with warmth & wisdom. He made a lasting impression on me that I will always remember. My deepest sympathy to the entire family for the loss of such a wonderful man.

Martha, wonderful kids and grandkids,
I was so sorry to hear that Jim had left the “corporate table “ and gone on to heaven.
I have never seen a more devoted, attentive and loving wife and family. You all lived your love for sweet Jim. What a beautiful family. Always there for each other.
Please accept my heartfelt condolences. Peace to each of you
Fondly,
Kathy Gioia and Tom.

For Jim’s family: I’m certainly sorry for your loss. I went to electronics school with Jim for two years. After graduation, Jim, Daryl Carnal and I moved to St. Louis together to work for Western Electric.
I went back to school and moved from St. Louis and seldom saw Jim over the years.
He was a great guy!

Our deepest sympathy to your family for the loss of your beloved husband, father, grandfather and friend to many. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

Jim was a friend. We got out of the service at about the same time. We met at Western Electric. Nicest of people I’ve ever known. We rafted, had weeks at the beach, smoked, drank, enjoyed life. I will miss a person such as himnice, concerned, funny, caring, thoughtful, in my heart I loved him, hart to put in words
Goodbye good buddy, RIP

When Bob and I talk about Jim, we both start smiling. He brought such joy to our lives. We have so many happy memories of the time we spent with Jim, Martha, Ken and Ruth. Jim was one of kindest, most generous people we have ever known and he will always be remembered with a smile in our hearts. It’s hard to let the good ones go. Our love goes out to Martha, his family and friends.

I had the pleasure of meeting Jim after he recruited my son Phil Jordan from college. Jim was such a kind soul and knew how to treat people. He was a great leader. My son had so much respect for him and so did I. He will surely be missed. Prayers fir his family.

Martha, I am so sorry to hear about Jim's passing. I have fond memories of our times together when I lived in St. Louis. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
