To his Mom, Karen whom I met years ago in her home in NY
To his wife, Lisa whom I have never met but have heard so much about over the last few years
And to all of Jim´s Family, about whom I have heard so much about since hiring Jim as a young man in the 1990´s for Sports Display
My sincere condolences for your tragic loss.
My heart is heavy today having just confirmed his passing after speaking with Mike Connors earlier today.
I will always remember Jim as a free spirit with enormous energy and a persona which was larger than life.
I did Jim´s first sales training for SDI after he left Otis Spunkmeyer Cookies. He was hired by one of the owners of SDI who told me: "I think he might work out!" He was right!
Jim was the recipient of the "Rookie of the Year" sales award, and I was not surprised.
I was fortunate to fish with Jim, his dad, Jim, Sr. along with his best friend, and another SDI Rep from NM during a work/fish trip to AK. Jim could fish just as well as he could sell!
Maybe better.
Jim and I reconnected a few years back after he started his own business. We talked several times a year and I was very proud of his efforts to put his life into a better place.
I will miss him.
I´m hoping Heaven has a great fishing hole. If there is one there, and I certainly hope that there is, Jim, Jr. and Jim, Sr. are pulling out the big ones!
May they rest in peace.
