Not sure what to say?

Jim was one of those rare people you meet who always leaves a lasting impression. I remember one time at Consolidated Metco he had a picture of John Wayne on his wall, and he asked me if I knew what he stood for - his reply was "integrity". That in one word is Jim. He left this world too soon and I'm sure he touched many others as he did me. He'll be missed.

Friend,

Mark Noll

I knew Jim at work. We all loved Jim. He would always go above and beyond. Customers loved him because no stone would go unturned. He would consider every option, in solving their problem. He prided himself in learning technical details that he could use to his customer's advantage. We learned a lot from Jim. We will miss him.

I knew Jim in the workplace in Portland, and even there it was obvious that he loved his family. Jim shared many positive stories about Betty, Andy, Matt, Tara, and the rest of his extended family. Heartfelt consolences to you all.

I knew Jim for about 12 years. He was my best friend, and an awesome mentor. His integrity was exemplary. He once made the statement that he had never sold his integrity, and he wasn't about to start now.
He was a true inspiration and I will miss him greatly.

It was a pleasure sharing a few years with you in the workplace Jim. My condolences to the Garver Family. You will be missed Jim.

God bless Jim, he was a wonderful co-worker and a true gentleman. My sympathies to the Garver family on the loss of this great man.

Those who mourn shall be comforted.
We can not lose any more like Jim as the earth will be devoid of class.

Jim was a great person to work for and a model mentor, he will be missed by all.

Having been a part of the Garver family for almost 30 years, I can tell you he will be deeply missed. He was an amazing man, husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend. Jimmy was a man of his word and a man of God's word. Save us all a place in Heaven Dad!
