I worked with Jim for 15 years on the ca and cleaner lines at Midwest. He was a good man and always fun to work with. Within 5 minutes of meeting him years ago all he would talk about was his mustang. He will really be missed. Rip Jim

I can't believe Jim is gone. He was always moving and wouldn't stop. I referred to him as the Energizer Bunny of the neighborhood. Will miss his holiday decorations, that he so proudly displayed. Such a great guy all the way around. RIP Jim.

Is this the same Jimmy Palmer that worked at Midwest Steel for many years? He was a good person. New him a long time and can't remember if he retired before me or after. Never the less, my thoughts go out to his family and other friends.
