I met Jim at the Barrington, IL, office of UARCO, where he was in Accounting, and I was in the Technical Writing dept. His warm, genuine personality made me feel very welcomed as a new employee. Whenever I would see Jim around Crystal Lake, he always had a minute or two to talk. I will miss his wide smile.

My condolences go out to your family. I worked with Jim in his years with UARCO in DeKalb. He was great to work with and always had a pleasant and fun nature about him. He will be missed by all who knew him.

Marc, you and your family have our deepest sympathy! I just recently spoke with your dad at the post office. No single person represented or stood more proudly for Babe Ruth than your father. They were synonymous!! He will be missed! We will say a prayer! Barry Gruner

I met Jim when he was in between jobs and I was with The McHenry County Workforce Network. When Jim became associated with The Girl Scouts Organization, we used to sit together at the monthly SHRM meetings. About a year ago, as we were visiting the Three Oaks Recreational Area, Jim was "Volunteering" at the main entrance, taking tickets. It was good to see him again. I will always remember him as the friendly, gentleman that he was.
Best regards to his family.
