A kind, caring and humble man, is how I would describe Jim. As his and Donna’s number one babysitter, when Christy, Kathy and Lynn, were little girls, I grew to know and admire this family. Jim was an amazing Dad and devoted husband, and he will be greatly missed! My thoughts and prayers are there for you all, as you journey through your loss and grief.

Jim and I worked together for all those many years at Trane Company. It was a pleasure to work with him and after retirement to visit with him and Donna from time to time. May he rest in peace.

I got to know Jim as a money counter at church and always enjoyed talking with him. He talked about the very early days of being a computer programmer. Such a smart and so humble of a man. Very sorry for your loss

Jim was no doubt one of the best men I had the pleasure of working with... He was a good honest caring person and one of many that helped boost my career within Trane. I was always thankful for his advice and encouragement. He was more than a coworker, he was a true friend. I’m so sorry Donna, you are in our prayers May he rest in peace.
