James Herbert Tempelis

My dear Barb and Andy n Matt and family, I love you all and will miss Jim and his quick smile and jovial attitude toward all. We were young friends in Medford, Oregon where my Jon was a customer of 3M sandbelts. We had so much fun together dining out, golphing, even pheasant hunting together. We started our families together on a vacation to Lake Tahoe but before our kids were even one, Jon and I moved to Roseburg. Our love for each other has never diminished, and my heart goes out to you all at this time of loss of precious Jim.

Barbara - I only met you once at a 3M Awards Ceremony that you and Jim had flew to St. Paul for. Jim was my hero. The first time I visited customers with him, he dropped me at the airport at SeaTac and said "Carl, you are in Marketing now. Never forget, a big part of your job is that are a 'litigator' for YOUR customers... for THEIR quality, for THEIR service... " I have never forgotten that. I miss Jim https://studylib.net/doc/11736971/abrasive-planing-of-lumber-mr.-james-tempelis-minnesota-m

Barbara and family......I will forever remember my many visits with Jim out in the street between our homes on Yarrow Point. What a gentleman and great neighbor. Jim was always positive and happy and he shared so many stories. I will miss Jim very much.

Barbara and Family. I am so sorry to hear about Jim's passing. I always get a smile on my face when I think of Jim and all the times we spent at 3M. Jim was a relationship salesman and loved the wood industry. We worked together at customers both while he was a sales specialist and as my boss. He always found a way to make any situation positive, funny and professional. When I joined a distributor we worked many programs together. I will miss Jim and I will keep you and the family in my thoughts and prayers. Andi sends her condolences as well
