So sorry to hear of Jimmy's passing. We went to kindergarden at Beebe School. He was such a nice boy. My family knew his family too. Marie Adamovich Lichter

I was so sorry to hear about Jimmy. He was a good friend and coworker. He used to stop by my desk and talk about life and work when he had time. Jimmy always had time for people. And as far as the work ethic, he was amazing, and always accommodating. He would immediately follow up on questions we had in the D&A lab about Tooling we needed. He was a good person, and I will miss him.

Dear Bonny and Denise,
My condolences on the loss of your brother. I could tell from his obituary that he shared your friendly, helpful character. God bless you and your family as you send him on his final journey.
With love,
Ida

I am so sorry to hear of Jimmy's passing. I met Jimmy while working the medical department at Caterpillar LC. He brought a light with him wherever he went. He was truly a pleasure to talk to and always managed to brighten my day. To have that impact on people is a true blessing and I feel blessed to have known Jimmy.

Dear Judy, Jamie and Family,
I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your husband and your dad. I hope you will be comforted by your wonderful memories of the good times with him and please know my thoughts and prayers are with you. With deepest sympathy and love,
Jodi Bouris

Jimmy and I went to grade school together at Beebe School in Naperville. He was a great guy.

I'm so sad to hear of Jim's passing as he was such a great work colleague-always a great disposition even when things were not so good, no matter the question or problem Jim would always have time for you. When he explained it was time to retire I couldn't have been happier for him. His legacy in the Tool Group will always be remembered especially from the folks in Contamination Control who understand the impact of Jim's contribution to said initiative.
Our most heart felt condolences.

With deepest sympathy, may the power of prayer ease your sorrow, give you peace and provide much comfort for you during this difficult time. Matthew 21:22

To the family of Jim, my condolences and I am very sorry for your loss. Jim was a good man and we will all miss him.

So sorry to hear of Jim's passing. We were good friends when we both worked for CSTG at Caterpillar. Jim always had a smile on his face and brightened up a room. Rest in peace, Jim.

May this candle light your way with our heavenly father where you will find peace. You were a great friend who will never be forgotten. Rest in peace.
