I was very saddened to hear about the passing of Jim Ross, he was simply one of a kind. I'm sure there has been a lot said about Jim over the last few weeks but I had several opportunities to interact with Jim over the last 30 yrs. As a pork producer in the 90's we met to discuss swine production and in particular 3 site production which Jim was very passionate about. Between 2002 and 2010 I competed against Jim Ross and his team at Grand Valley Fortifiers selling feed in Ontario and the loyalty to Jim and his sales staff, indicated to me he was a world class man running a world class feed company. Over the last 10 yrs I believe I was able to get a little closer to Jim as one of his suppliers to Grand Valley Fortifiers (got tired of getting thumped selling feed against him!) and saw a very different side of Jim. He was a very gentle and caring man and always took the time to chat with me even though there were a lot of people more important than me in his world- he was just a fine gentlemen. His legacy will never be forgotten and I believe "They just don't make guys like Jim anymore" He will be missed. My deepest sympathies. Jody Durand
