I am so sorry to hear about Jim’s passing. I can see him now riding in his corvette. He was always so pleasant to everyone. I remember all you guys at Playtex. I sure miss those days. I have been in Ohio since 1985 and it is like living in another world.

I had the pleasure of working for Jim many years at Playtex. He was always there for me if I needed advice or just simply to listen. I was proud to have Jim take the role of my father and walk arm in arm down the aisle at my wedding. He will be sadly missed but remembered with a smile. June
Remembering Jim as a wonderful soul and dear friend. His spirit shone bright on and off the court, Such great memories of him as our coach of the Playtex Women's Basketball Team. He leaves a legacy of competitiveness, kindness and inspiration.
Joe and I have many fond memories of our time spent with Jim. We still laugh about the time he was fishing behind our house and caught a nice one. He didn’t have his phone with him so he drove home and got Columbia to come back and take a picture of it. What a great guy!
Great Friends, Throughout the years we enjoyed getting together while in Delaware and in Florida. Numerous house to house visits playing Dominos, golfing together, dinners and just hanging out enjoying one another’s company. Nothing tops the trip both made to Las Vegas and enjoying their company. These frequent visits solidified our Friendship, which we relish to this very day! Wonderful memories, wonderful friends, thanks Jim and Columbia for the fantastic times! Joan & Roger
