I was deeply saddened to recently read about Jimmy's passing. It's been close to 20 years since I worked with him, but the memories of managing the parts department together left a big impact and impression on me that will remain. He was a hard worker, from sun up to sun down and more. I can remember us doing our own inventory, counting and recounting each and every bolt, screw, and washer to make absolute sure, as well as others he worked on after a full day's work. Then he would chop wood and still find time for the hunting club or to see his family and friends. He made sure things were done, no matter what. He taught me great work ethic and leadership, and it never felt like just a job. He was more than just a boss to me-he felt like family.

The biggest thing that I will always remember, besides him not liking getting birthday gifts like the balloons and soup bowl/mug I gave him one year (which he then used all the time, lol), will be that I´ll always think of him when I have a cup of soup for lunch, remembering the special moments we shared. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time, and I wish you comfort and strength as you honor his life.
Always Grateful,
Tamara
