James Robert MacGilvray

Very soon after I became Jim's neighbor, but before I met him, he threw a party, complete with loud music. Perfect, I thought: I moved to the country to get away from all that. Soon I realized that they were "blasting" Frank Sinatra music, among other old classics, and knew that anyone who thought jamming to Sinatra was a good time was going to be an awesome neighbor, and he was. We didn't see each other much on our big spreads, but he was always cheerful and engaging whenever we met. My...

Our high school yearbook said he was "Personality". He was also kind, funny, smart, and always there for his friends. My sympathy and prayers are with his family.

Lea Ann and family,
I was so sorry to read about your dad's passing. He was always a good friend to me and Windy. Remember all the good times and he will be with you forever.

Jim and his deceased wife, Paula, go back many years of good times with Ann and me. Loved our times as students of Notre Dame. Great friend will be missed. God bless him and his family.

I worked with/for Jim during the time he was president of Camcar. Jim always struck me as a humble man who was a very professional and courteous leader who empowered his people and always showed the utmost respect for them and their ideas. I'm glad I had the chance to work with him and know him.

Always fond memories of him. He would always stand in his office doorway and call in us girls, 5 in total, and would tell us, " you girls need to set an example.. Break time is 15 min not a half hour". After "being good" for a week or so, we would be back to our normal schinanigans. He was a great leader with a great heart. He is missed.

He was a great man. We all have fond memories of him when he worked for BPC. Always stern with a laugh and a joke when you thought you were about to be reprimanded. LOL. He will be missed. Thoughts and prayers for his family.
