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.

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.

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.
