James Leslie Graham

2010 seems like a lifetime ago, until I see my dear friend James Graham. Jim and I met many years prior and never parted ways as friends. I would smile each time I would see him, and now each time I see his photo. Much love to you my dear friend in heaven. By the way, Barb is doing very well, and she is very happy my friend. I told you we would take care of her in your absence. Truth be told, she is taking care of us!

Love you still Jim Graham and miss you everyday. This sunset reminded me of you.

There are many days that Jim just shows up. Typically, when I am attempting to fix something. Out of nowhere, there he is, loud and clear shaking his head with his tongue in his cheek with the thoughtful look. Jim laughs and says, have you ever thought of... I love those moments that allow me to think of my friend Jim Graham.

Good morning God! I would like to thank you for introducing me to my dear friend Jim Graham 20 years ago. Jim and my meeting was happen stance. I am so glad our stance happen to be in the places where we were. As a result of that stance Jim, Barb, Fran and I became immediate friends and still to this day have a strong connection and affinity toward our Barb. Actually, Fran and I are the beneficiaries of what has become a life long friendship with Barb since Jim's passing 10 years ago.

Jim was our friend. He had been our competitor and always an honorable one. He was our mentor. He eventually became our partner. He was an inspiration, always interesting and the example of fairness and integrity.
Last and best, Jim was our friend, who will be missed and the world will be a lesser place without him but the next world will be enhanced with his coming.

So sad to hear of Jim's passing . Barb you have our sincere condolences . We never made it out there to visit like we wanted to. Knew and respected him for 40 years . Jim was my very first employer at Industrial Insulation Company , There was nothing I wouldn't do for him . Jim you will be missed .

I will always have the greatest respect for James Graham. I knew him from the time I was a young child and he was always very kind and loving towards me. As I grew older, I discovered how brilliant he was. I can basically thank him for my love of techinal gagets and electronics. His passing is a true loss. To his survivors, you were truely blessed to have had him in your life. Peace to you all.

I am presently half owner and president of K-R Metal Engineers, one of Jim's previously-owned companies in in Bay City, Michigan. When he left here in 1986, he still had in his possession a small awl (metalworking handtool) and in April 2009 he mailed it back to me here at K-R Metal Engineers! He enclosed a note with it stating that he had been meaning to return it to me for 22 years, and he felt guilty everytime he looked at it! That's the kind of man Jim Graham was and I'm sure he's...

Jim was one of the most interesting men I have ever known. You could have a conversation with him about anything, and you would have learned something new by the time the conversation was over. We will miss you.
