Our deepest sympathy to the Yates family. We both worked with Jim at Ohio Bell and thought the world of him. He would always respond immediately and and his sense of humor would help in a hard situation. His many friends will miss him.

We were both saddened by the passing of Jim. I went through tough times with both my dad and my mom. Even when you know the inevitable outcome, when it arrives you are not ready. May you all walk in God's Grace and for all your problems (Let Go and Let God.) Blessings, Sandy & Dick Hickernell

I am saddened to hear of Uncle Jim's passing. I will remember how graciously he took me to football games when I was in high school and patiently taught me the game from the sidelines. I will think of him fondly. Love, Vicki (Bait) Piccinich and family
