I member Jim was so funny he would wiggle his ears for us and all the children would laugh and giggle. Although we were distanct cousins I feel so close to his daughter Ellen,who always treats me like gold no matter what.

I was blessed to work with Jim as his District Manager for 3 years when we first moved to Cincinnati. A finer gentleman you will never meet. So very sorry to hear of his passing. Our deepest sympathies to Bev and the rest of his family.

We are so sorry to hear about Jim. Right after I had been introduced to Jim by my husband, we saw him about six months later. He was surprised that I remembered his name. He was a great guy always, a smile on his face. That's how we will remember him.

I first met Jim when he was a rep for a drug company and called on the pediatric office I worked in. Then I found out he was a friend and golfing buddy of my brother, George, and also lived just one street over from me! He was so kind and always cheerful. I looked forward to seeing him on his walks. My sincere sympathy to his family. Mary Schroer
