Jim was truly a unique individual, always wearing a smile and a kind word. I had the pleasure of working with Jim at both the former Portage Lowe's and the Michigan City Lowe's. Jim possessed a wealth of knowledge of many area of experience. He and I share a special work relationship. I was saddened to hear of his passing. Jim was a all around good guy and will be truly missing.
My deepest condolences go out to his wife and Family.
