James J. Forkin

We have lost a true friend and successful grocery man, who helped many Food Brokers be successful. Jim was the epitomy of an Irish
gentleman,an entrepeneur and family man, who loved life. He will be sorely missed.
May the Perpetual Light Shine Upon Him.

Dear Joan & Family,
My association with Jim started with Sara Lee and continued to the present. When Jim started Buckeye Sales & Marketing we appointed him as Broker for Totion's Pizza. Jim developed a very aggressive plan to introduce Totinos in the No. Ohio Market. Buckeye was one of Totinos top Brokers.
Jim's plan was to always be the best Broker for the Companies he represented. He accomplished this over and over.
I admired Jim and always enjoyed the time we spent together.He...

To the Forkin Family: "Big D" & Joanie were wonderful neighbors when we lived in Sarasota. They danced at both our daughters' weddings and brought joy to all. We will always treasure his love of the blarney and his horrible jokes! Our sympathy on your loss.

To the Forkins and Kighter,
Your Dad was one of the greats in our industry. He always to the time to care about the people and spent the time to mentor many of us. His leagacy will live on through those of us that new him.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and all the family.

Jim

To Dan,Tim, and the Forkin Family,
I met and talked to Jim a couple of times and it was easy to see right away what a special person he was. He was very proud of his kid's and luckily so many of his good traits can be found in them every day. My thoughts and prayers have been with you and I know as alway's the strength in your family will hold you all together through this.
Sincerly, Keith

To the Forkin Family
I'm very sorry to hear about your Dad. I was unable to come to the funeral but my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dan, Tim and the Forkin Clan,
We want to express our deepest sympathies to you for the loss of your father. We are so thankful to have had the opportunity to know such an incredible man.
Big "D" was a bright shining star that will now twinkle in heaven for all of us. No words can express our deepest sympathy. Please know you are in our prayers during this most difficult time. "Difficult Time" those are only words. There are no words to describe the emotions and feelings when you lose...

To All Family,
Your father will be deeply missed, and I share in your sorrow. He was the one of the greatest men I have ever known. My family's deepest regrets go out to each of you and your mother. Jim will never be forgotten.

Our best wishes,
David and Caroline Powley

My deepest sympathy goes out to the family. Me and my late husband, Lou (who worked with Jim) had nothing but great memories of him.
