James Alan Buzzard

I audited Jim's area in 1984 when he was the Charleston Mill's Assistant Purchasing Manager. Later on, as a former divisional credit manager, I often worked with Jim when he had sales managerial duties. He was always down-to-earth, and he conducted himself with integrity. I also didn't know that Jim used the expression "We're off like a herd of turtles". My jaw dropped. That was an expression my Pop used on us, and I adopted it too in my adult life. Godspeed, Jim! You were an exemplary...

My heartfelt sympathies to the family. I just learned of this today (May 16). He was bright, articulate, and sincerely cared about people. As a fellow NCSU alum, the loss is even more greatly felt.

I was so sorry to hear about Jim passing away. I knew him from Westvaco, Envelope Div. in MA then had the pleasure to work with him in Fine Papers in NY then down in Richmond until I retired in 2004. He was always a great person to work with, always a gentleman and an enjoyable person to talk to. I can only imagine what a great husband, father and grandfather he was. Sending thoughts and prayers to all of you.

Susan, I am so saddened by this unexpected and heartbreaking loss for you and your combined families. The pictures I saw of your wedding and subsequent events showed a close-knit, devoted and fun-loving family who reveled in each other´s company. That Jim should be taken from so many who loved him is a grievous loss. My love, my prayers, and hugs go out to you today.

My heart breaks for you Susan and all Jim´s family and friends. I was sadden to read about Jim´s passing. my deepest sympathy to you and all his loved ones love, Kay

To the family.....It was a privilege to have had the opportunity to work with Jim and I will always appreciate his support and everything the did for our team. He was a good man and I know the family will miss him greatly, but treasure the memories and be thankful for his love. God Bless and best wishes.

Susan, I have had a heavy heart since hearing of Jim´s sudden passing. I am keeping you and your family in my prayers. May God wrap his arms around you and give you strength to maneuver through this very difficult time.
