My husband and I just heard about Jim’s passing. We’re sending our condolences, and healing prayers.
We had the pleasure of being introduced while working at our plant. One cold night after working here all day his van broke down and needed to be towed so we invited him to stay the night with us. We had a nice visit I will cherish that time. Peace be with you and your family.

Many have accurately said, "the nicest guy I ever met". I like to think of Jim as the ultimate gentleman. A gentleman to men and women alike. A friend to all. I had the privilege of rooming with Jim for a year at Ferris. My respect for him remains immense.
My heart goes out to Linda and family. God bless you and lead you through this difficult time. The memory of Jim will remain with us all.
