James Arthur "Jim" Eskridge

Mrs. Eskridge and family, my deep condolence to you. I just learned today that Jim has passed on. We worked together at the General Mills Toy Group Office in NYC many years ago where I was a Director of Finance and reported to him. He was a great boss & mentor to me, for which I am eternally grateful. Our careers took us in different directions and I had hoped to reconnect with him now to send my greetings. I'm a bit in shock. My heart goes out to you all.

Jim sat near me in Mrs. Gaydos English Lit class at Lincoln High, San Diego. Our other tie is that we both worked for Mattel, however, I was in Mattel Western Sales as a retail representative and a supervisor between 1966 and 1969-Jim had not started at that time. When I went to Lincoln High, I was an interloper/transfer from San Diego High. Jim was very friendly toward me and did not let that fact stand in the way of his being friendly.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to the Eskridge Family. I knew Jim and Sharon from Thunderbird Country Club, wonderful people. May God speed his healing hands around your broken hearts and give you peace knowing that he is now resides in Heaven. ~ The William Glover Family

I only knew Jim for the past four years having worked with him on the Thunderbird Homeowners Assoc.
What a privilege to get to know him work and learn from him. He was an incredible man who everyone liked and admired. His determination and ability to communicate during some difficult times was amazing! He will truly be missed.

I send my condolences to his family at the loss of a great and talented man who gave to our desert community with his generosity. Although I never met this talented man, I have respect for him through his contribution. I live in Rancho Mirage also. I send my condolences to each member of his family for your loss.

Sharon,
I am so saddened to hear of Jim's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family.

Mrs.eskridge,and family. I worked at TBCC for nearly 25yrs, and was so sorry to hear of your loss. I always held you and your husband In the highest regard. He will be missed. You are in my heart, and prayers.

Sincerely, Sandy Silha
