I am deeply saddened to hear of Jim’s passing. I started working at Cardinal when I was just 14 years old. Jim was my very first boss. He was the person who showed me what true hard work, integrity, and dedication look like in the workplace. Under his guidance, I learned so much, including how to work the register long before scanners existed. Every item had to be hand-keyed, and thanks to that job and Jim, I mastered the number pad and developed skills that stayed with me throughout my life. I can out type anyone on the number pad. Jim made a lasting impact on me, and I will always be grateful for the foundation he helped build. My thoughts and prayers are with his family during this difficult time. May his memory be a blessing to all who knew and loved him.

I wrote this for Jim to show my appreciation and gratitude for all that he’s done, organizing our Cruises as well as for the community and VFW He will be sadly missed by so many family, friends and Community Rest in absolute peace my friend… Jimbo. JIM. 10/29/23 So, there’s this guy in Richwood Yah, he’s a jolly good fellow He’s kind, hardworking and some would say, he’s even kind of mellow. A selfless guy who loves this place And wants what’s best for all He’ll jump through hoops and do his best Despite all protocol. He organized this trip and for so many It’s a dream Without your help, there’d have been struggle, like salmon swimming upstream. So look around at all you’ve done, at the happiness on our faces We’ve made it here upon this ship to sail away to places. Places some may have never seen without your generosity, So again I say.. for he’s a jolly good fellow… but, that’s my philosophy. So here we all are, the time has come to float upon the sea With ALL you can eat and ALL you can drink… OH MY DEAR, with this group? This we should really RETHINK! Cause someone is bound to pee over the rail- Oh MAN, the trouble that will bring Let’s all take a guess who that might be, On this we should really be betting! Let’s just have fun and eat and drink and enjoy with no regretting. So, let’s raise a glass to JIM for all the work that he’s put in He brought us all together here, in my eyes… he’s the CAPTAIN!

I consider Jim one of my dearest friends. What started out as a business relationship quickly turned into a wonderful friendship. I may have started out showing him the ropes but, in true ‘Jim Style’ he took the reins & ran with it. He soon became my mentor. 😉 I loved working with him, hanging out, traveling & building a great friendship. I loved Jim very much. His absence will forever be felt.
