Our sincere sympathies to Pat and family for your loss of Jim.. I worked with Jim when I managed BESAM Engineering from 1984-1997. He was a true gentleman with an infectious laugh, and always a professional. He will be sorely missed.
Pat, Jon & Kim; Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.
Leo & Marilyn McGinley
Pat; Our most sincere condolences. We will talk.
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of my Uncle Jimmy. I have many memories visiting with him and Aunt Pat…Sunday dinners, the pool in CT, Beaver & Duchess, Thanksgiving Dinners and Aunt Pat’s famous pumpkin pies! He will be missed but his memory will live on.
Dear Aunt Pat; My thoughts and prayers are with you and your children. I’m so sorry for your loss. Uncle Jim always made me feel welcome in your home and I especially remember how well you
and Uncle Jim cared for Pam and I during the time our father was sick and in the hospital. So generous and loving. You and Uncle Jim let me pick out art supplies at the store which you happily purchased. Your love and support helped me get through that very difficult time. And despite the distance, I hope you can feel my love and support helping you through this difficult time. Uncle Jim will be missed dearly by so many.
Love, Jackie
You are in my memories.
As members of Producers Council Midwest (PCM), we worked together for many years, attending many monthly board meetings together as well as product showcases. I always admired Jim for his professionalism and dedicatation to his industry. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.
I was sorry to hear of Jim’s passing. I’ve known Jim for at least 20 years and he was always a kind, gentle and industrious man. He was always willing to volunteer and share his talents and connections with others. He will be missed.

Jim and I were members of Producers Council for many years. He was an excellent representative of his products, and a great member of our organization. He was an asset to the industry and we’ll miss him.
Best wishes to his family.
