Not sure what to say?

I worked as a student manager 1972 - 1974 at Johnson's Ice Cream. Jim Wilcoxon taught me the value of doing things right every time, to serve our customers the best way we could. Taught me to not interrupt when someone was talking and to listen and learn from everyone you could. Thank you God for sharing Jim Wilcoxon with me.

Hope, You probably don´t remember us as we have been gone from Reynoldsburg so many years, but both Carl and I remember you and Jim very well. We were a young married couple with a new baby when we met you and Jim at church. You invited us into your home during the holidays and we had you all in our home as well for dinner. I know you miss Jim but the wonderful thing about our faith is that we KNOW we will see and be with our loved ones again in our real home, heaven. Thanks to both you...

IJUST HEARD OF YOUR LOSS AND I AM TRULY SORRY FOR THIS FAMILY. MAY GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU. HELP EACH OTHER. I PRAY FOR YOU. ALICE L. TRENT

Deepest Sympathy to the family at this loss. As a family business ourselves, we admire how Jim has continued to keep Johnson's Real Ice Cream growing into the fourth generation. Please accept our deepest sympathy.

Jim Wilcoxon set the bar very high when it came to being a husband, a father, a employer and a very generous community presence. His family mirrors in so many ways his many strengths. Jim always greeted me with a wide smile and a firm handshake and the statement-that there was nothing wrong with him. Being his physician was an honor-I will miss our time together. Hope and family did mighty work in caring and loving him in these last years-they made life joyful even in difficult times. Jim...

My mentor and good friend! He was an inspiration to me.
