He was the best, honest which is a rare in this world in which we live. I live close to Lupient dealership and when I drive by I think of him all the time. I purchased many auto's from his dealership. I will miss his smile and warmth that he gave out so willingly. Lee/ Golden Valley

Jim was a great guy, and a true friend that I first met when he was selling used cars at Central Rambler. Bought many cars from him over the years and no matter how busy he was he always had time to handle my purchase himself. Was saddened to hear of his passing when my son told me about it recently but brought back a lot of great memories for me of Jim. My sincere condolences to his family.

For many years when I was growing up, I lived next door to the Lupients. I didn't know Jim well other than to know he stepped up to the plate when his father died and went on to great success. I did know his mom and sisters, especially my buddy Ginny. My condolences to them and to his wife and family. May the Great Spirit bring you peace at this sad time.

I'm so sorry to hear about Jim, he was a really special man.
I worked at the Auto Mall for 14 years. I fell in love with the car business because of the exceptional way that Jim ran his company. Even after 4 years away from the dealership I still feel the pull of the business. I can't help but smile when I drive by a dealership - and think about all the great times.
I will always be thankful to the Lupient family for the memories and valuable experience.
I hope that the dealerships will move forward with Jim's integrity and continue his amazing legacy.
May your family find peace during this difficult time.

Dear Barbara and Family: I knew Jim for over 50 years. If you all want to know how he got his passion for the card game gin - I know the secret. I will always cherish the times we had together at a ball game, golf, auto auction and the construction trailer on the Oldsmobile property. I loved sitting across from him in his office as the always started the conversation with a good joke. Then the conversation would turn as he was always interested in what was going on in my life and ready to offer business advise. He always had good advise - all you had to do is ask. Jim was a special person in my life - he will never be forgotten. Richard Proman

Barbara Lupient and Family, Sorry to hear of Jim's passing. He truly touched my life in many ways and untold numbers of others. I've known Jim since 1968 when the Old's store was being built. In my younger work years at Lupient several personal crisis surfaced in my life and with Jim's counseling, generosity and kindness I became a better person because of his perserverence. I retired in December, 1999 from Lupient Chev. The lower show floor was cleared. It was then filled with employee's, customers, friends and family. A meal was served and Barbara and Jim honored me for years of service. I was very proud and grateful to be a part of the Lupient team and special things Jim did for me. Thank you Jim, Thank you Barbara

To Barbara and Family,
So sorry to hear of the passing of Jim. I'll never forget when I met him at a bat-mitzvah, my wife and I were seated next to Jim and Barbara. We were both supposed to go to his main car lot on a Saturday and see how many cars the two of us could sell in one day. I was really looking forward to doing this but it just never happened. What a wonderful man and he sure knew how to touch people's lives. My heart goes out to you and your family.

To: The Lupient Family
In 1980 I met Jim and through the years continually admired a man who was always willing to take time to meet with people! His success never changed his passion for people and making a difference in life and to his employees!
Jim was one that never practiced friendship by talking about it, he acheived earning many real friendships becuase he cared and was a genuine man. His many kind and unknown acts of reaching out to people were never share by him. But those that received his acts of giving and sharing will never forget!
Jim Lupient was the consummate entrepreneur who proved that with a passion and a purpose a person can exceed their expectations. I am proud to have had the honor to have met, known and befriended him. John Crnokrak Madison, WI

Dear Barbara and entire family:
We are very saddened to hear of Jim's passing. We pray for his peace and pray for your comfort. We were just talking of him this weekend and telling our family about times at Lupient Oldsmobile. The memories are so vivid of a good solid place to work and we are forever grateful for the many years of employment given to Jim. When Jim retired, your husband and father came over to the dealership and took Jim aside and asked him to walk with him in the back. They both talked about when Jim first started there in l970 and how things looked back then...and how things had changed. My husband said it was the most memorable part of his retirement day that he would come over and take the time to walk with him. He shook his hand and thanked him for his employment and needless to say, my Jim felt the same way. I can honestly say I never heard anything but praise for Jim Lupient. He said he really knew how to run a business and treated his employees right. Please know that we are thinking of you all and hold you in our hearts and prayers. God bless Jim Lupient.

Mrs. Lupient & family, I first met Jim through my friend and BBB associate, Ron Graham. I was delighted by Jim's fun, warm personality. I learned much from listening to his interesting business stories. Jim's deep concern for the reputation of those in the auto industry was a mark of his own personal integrity. While I have not seen Jim in over 10 years he made a life time impression as someone I will never forget. I send my deepest condolences and prayers to you and your family.

Jim's unique combination of brilliance in business and his great heart benefited many thousands of lives. Jim became a mentor and board member to a little start-up company I founded with Gary Cohen in 1987. Jim met with us regularly, over many years, providing us a phenomenal education and wise counsel. His guidance was an important foundation for us to build a business that employed thousands of people - people across the country whose lives were better because Jim never hesitated to help us and others. I now make sure to pass on the great lessons Jim provided to us, whenever I get the chance to mentor others. (One example of Jim's advice for making hard decisions: Never do anything that you wouldn't be happy to see as the headline in tomorrow's morning news.)
Of course, Jim will be dearly missed by his many friends and family, but his impact will also be missed by the many thousands of people whose lives he touched without them ever knowing of the power of his advice and attention. There were so many businesses like ours - businesses who provided paychecks and the opportunity to achieve to so many people, who benefited from Jim's incredible generosity with his time, his experience and his wise counsel. It will be a significant legacy for a truly exceptional man.

I have known Jim over half my life. His generosity, wisdom, joyfulness had a real and sustained impact on me. It seems when ever I find myself telling a story with Jim in it there is a huge smile on my face and he is bigger than life. My life has been way richer having known Jim. I met him on the big bitters ski trip in Vail in 1980 while in high school and he volunteered to sit on our companies board for many years. He always made himself available. My thoughts go out to the family and all the many of us who hold him in our hearts.

Jim was truly an amazing man who through his hard work, dedication, and passion, built a very reputable and successful business. I’m sure his family life was no different.
I will never forget the day my father introduced me to Jim approximately twenty years ago. It was time for my parents to purchase a new car, my father wanted to make sure he purchased their car from Jim. As the story goes, Jim sold his first car on the day of my parents wedding when he worked at Schmelz Bros.
I will always remember Jim as a very humble man with a huge heart. He shared stories with me about my grandfather who urged him to get into real estate and how my parents wedding day provided him the opportunity to put on suit and sell his first car. As Jim put it…he never stopped selling after that day.
The last time I saw Jim was almost fourteen years ago when Jim attended my father’s funeral. That meant a lot to me and my family. Jim was an inspiration to all that knew him.
My thoughts and prayers are with the Lupient family during this difficult time. If Jim was golfer, I bet Jim and my father are enjoying a heavenly round of golf about now…
God Bless,
