James Bouskos Obituary
He was taken from this world too soon, in the early hours of September 13th, at the age of 55. He is survived by his wife Karin Bouskos, two children Jordan and Morgan Bouskos, parents Andriana and Ernest Bouskos, in laws Seta and Setrak Zekian, brother Michael Bouskos, nephews Alex and Andy Bouskos, brother in law Levon Zekian, nieces Siena and Addison Zekian, and aunts, uncles, and cousins who loved him dearly.
Jimmy was a great man. He was a devoted husband, a loving father to his children and kitty cats, and friend to everyone he met from classmates, to coworkers, even the pizza delivery boy.
He made people feel welcomed from the moment they met him. When he spoke, you could feel his sincerity.
Jimmy was quick with a joke and the life of every party. He loved to entertain, and with the help of his wife, Jimmy cultivated a home people wanted to be a part of.
A celebration of life will be held Sunday, September 29th at Fort Washington Country Club, Fresno, California at 4 p.m. Jimmy brought laughter and joy into every room he entered, and we will honor him with laughter and joy in return.
In lieu of flowers, we ask that people please donate to St. George Greek Orthodox Church in Fresno, CA.

My family had the great joy of growing up next to the Bouskos family. We were indoctrinated into this big beautiful Greek family, the gatherings and the holidays! I was the family babysitter and spent my youth with Jimmy and his brother Michael. I adored those boys. Since Jimmy was a baby, he was a bundle of love. He was such a sweet, joyful, soulful, happy boy. Clearly, he took that love, joy and zeal for life into the family and life that he built. Heaven has now received a beautiful heart. Jimmy's legacy will live on in those he dearly loved.

Sorry to hear that Jim passed suddenly. I worked with him for years and he was one of the best people in the employee benefits sphere I ever worked with. He will be missed. Condolences to the family.

I would like to send my condolences to the Bouskos family. I saw the obituary and I was saddened to hear about your loss.
I worked with Jimmy when he took over the manager position at Continental Market.
I first started working the summers in 1979, 1980 and 1981. I was hired as a bagger and then
I came back in 1990 to 1993.
Jimmy was always in a great mood.
His smile was infectious. Remember the wonderful memories all of you had with him.
He will be greatly missed by all that had the pleasure of knowing him.

I was so happy to work with Jim again at Compass even for a short time.
Interrupting each other was a running joke between us at HealthComp. I only got to interrupt him once at Compass but I will always remember the grin on his face.
My thoughts are with his family, he will be greatly missed.

I met Jim while we worked together at Healthcomp. I would fly in from Chicago a few times a year to meet with the team and to enjoy the glowing spirit that was in my friend Jim. He was an angel on this earth and I am sure one of the most caring on the other side. You will be forever missed my friend.

I met JB when he came to Compass, and he was awesome to work with and learn from. His infectious smile and kind heart always made the office seem just a little bit better with him in it. He always chuckled when I would tell him "Hey JB, it's me JB" because we have the same initials! I told him that is what made us both AWESOME! He always agreed with a smile and laugh :)

I´m still at a loss of words to learn about Jim´s passing. He was one of the best people that I´ve ever came across in my life. He was a friend, mentor, coworker and we all loved him and will miss him dearly. He was definitely the life of the party seeing him each morning even on your worst day Jim could always find something good about it. That says a lot about who he was and on 9/13 heaven gained angel and we lost an amazing person it´s always the good ones that go first - sending prayers to his family.

So many of us from HealthComp cannot believe our Jim has passed. As Account Managers we worked side-by-side with Jim and appreciated him dearly. Very thoughtful and dedicated to all he came in contact with over the years. Tons of laughs too. What a loss. Michael, Karin and kids, our hearts and prayers are with you.
