I started my life in construction with Jim's guidance. I remember Jim as a person that wanted to teach young people to work hard. Even though I was the son of Jim's employer, it didn't matter to him and he was still going to teach me to work hard and do things the right way.
I knew Jim Kohne before I knew John Gebert, both are, in my thoughts, very very good and ethical people.
Fran Tanesky and Jim are in my thoughts and prayers and will be whenever I hear of the people that helped me in my life to be what I am because of the work ethics they taught me.
Whoever is reading this will have to remember Mel Pfifer, Pappy Lowe, George Wilmer, Bill Speakman, Whitey (the bulldozer operator), Ted Starky (landscaper), Dale Fisher, Bob Haller, Morey Ross, John Grandy, Treva Koch, John Pelkington, John Walburn, Louie Derheimer, Bill Berta, and all the rest of the great people that Jim's hard work helped to better their lives.
Thanks, Jim, you helped me, also. God speed.

I will always remember Jim. His leadership and attitude at work set the foundation for my success, He was like "Joseph" to me. A Carpenter who loved his trade. May you have good grief as you hold on to the many good memories he left.
Most Sincerely,
Phil Shirmeyer
