Jim and I were classmates from kindergarten through high school. He always treated everyone with respect and greeted you with such a huge hug at our class reunions. He was a true gentleman and it was a real privilege to have known him. He will be missed, but find comfort knowing he set such a fine example for his children and grandchildren.

Mr D was the kindest sweetest most genuine soul. Growing up with the Dompierre family is some of the best memories I have. Mr D always had time for us. Any "snafu" we would get into, he made us figure it out and taught us lessons in ways we didn't know we were learning. He never got angry or complained about anything. Never a negative thing to say. Many many great times at 24 Packard Dr.

Mrs D....I love you very much. I wish I had a magic word to help the hurt. Wrap your arms around yourself and squeeze....my long distance hugs!!! Xoxo

Patti and Debbie......I can't imagine what you are feeling right now. Your dad was a Saint on earth. I'm lucky to have had the times we had together. Love u both so much!!

Mr D, you will be missed tremendously!! Xoxoxo

There have been occasions when Jim's family would visit the office and as he came to the reception area to take them back to his office the entire family would start beaming. Jim was an example of what a leader is and earned the respect of those that knew him. Jim was very generous but not boastful of his kind deeds. Jim would have packages shipped to his family during the holidays and other special occasions. Also, someone in the office had relatives that were devasted by severe weather and she shared with me that Jim contributed to their loss. She was touched because she barely knew Jim.
Back in the late 90s my manager at the time reported to Jim. We were responsible for the dynamics of scanning, however, our projects turned from feast to famine. This impacted all of our positions and Jim was instrumental by giving me the straight talk that my position could no longer be supported, but an Office Assistant position would become available. Jim stated I did not have to give an answer right then and there. We talked again and after "careful consideration" (one of Jim's phrases from the meeting minutes) I accepted the offer. This provided an open door for a different opportunity and stability with the company. For these attributes and many more, my sincere thanks to Jim and my condolences to his family, friends, and those that worked with Jim. Jim will be deeply missed as he was not just someone we worked with, but a man that was beloved.

To my friend Jim's wife and children: We at Permedion were privileged to know this kind man. He was an encourager, protector, great problem solver and listener who always took time out for others. Ms. Judy, I often teased (as did many others) Jim about stealing those wonderful salads you made. I also sat by the door Jim used to come in in the morning and leave at night - without fail, I would get his wonderful smile and a hello or good night. I love Jim and will miss him more than I can express. Through this time know that there is no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal. May God provide peace to all of you.

Jim, you will be missed! You were always helpful to me when working on projects together at Permedion. I greatly appreciated it!

"In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began". Titus 1:2

To Jim's wife: I was always jealous of those lunch salads you made for Jim. You took good care of him.

To the grandkids: Your grandfather always lite up and smiled when he spoke of you. He was so proud to have grandchildren.

Take care friend, Julie Cowher
