James Cochran

Jim might a life-changing contribution to my life in 1963. If it were not for Jim, i don't believe I ever would have been offered a job in P&G.

Here we are again, Dad, the anniversary of your passing. This time of year never gets easier for me but I am comforted by the thought that you and Mom are together and you are free from a body that was letting you down. I miss you more than words can express and love you with all my heart. Peg

Still miss you more than ever, Dad. Hope you are happy and at peace. Love, Always and Forever, Peg

I think of Jim often. Every time I recall coming to PG. Knowing if it were not for Jim I never would have been hired, never met my wife, never had the family which has Made my life what it is.

Jim was my boss at P&G. He was the most caring, straightforward person I ever had as a manager. He taught me much about management and about idealism. He was a lovely person and led by example. He laughed at my contrary ways and congratulated me on my successes. We were blessed to have him.

Jim was my neighbor. Although much older than me, Jim would finish shoveling snow in his driveway and come an help me with mine. He and Patty were fantastic neighbors. I will miss both of them.

Jim was one of those special people who comes along very rarely in our lives. A gentleman of the highest order, he exuded warmth, compassion, kindness, spirituality, inquisitiveness (his business side), great logic, a high sense of morality, parental and civic duty. I shall miss him sorely at our future family gatherings. ~ Ellen Everman Deaton

Ross Friedmann and I were privileged to know Jim for only a few years. He and the Judd family were the highlight of several Christmas celebrations and even his 90th. birthday.

We morn the loss of this genuine and kind soul with his family. He is at peace now with his beloved Patty.
