I was sorry to learn of the death of Mr. Videan. I had the privilege of having him as my boss a number of years ago at Renaud, Cook. I can honestly say he's on my list of "best bosses." He was easy to work for, friendly to talk with and just an all-around nice man.

His family is in my prayers and thoughts during this grieving season.

Jim Videan was one of the nicest person I've ever known. He had a heart to big for himself. He had so much compassion for everyone. He always was there for everyone. I met him about 25 yrs. ago when I first started work w/ his firm. He was a true gentleman and helped me so much. We had his retirement party at my house. He had so much fun, he was such a fun person to be around. I am so sad to see him go. He will always be in my fun memories. What a great man, fun, smart, humours and a great look on life, Jim, I will miss you so much, but you will be remembered for so many great things. You are a wonderful, fun man. You gave me so much.

I'll miss you so much, Love You!

We only knew Jim for the past few months, but thought of him with such regard. We loved the stories of his past that he and Catherine told us. We will miss him.
