  7. I had worked with Jim and found him to be the “go to” guy. Our UniPro Distributors and our UniPro leadership valued and appreciated Jim taking care of us. Jim would jump in wherever needed “toward the flame”. Jim always brought his enthusiasm and passion toward helping out the customer.

    We will miss Jim and wish him well on his next journey.

    All our prayers.

  11. I worked with Jim at Bunzl and knew him to be great man and outstanding salesman.
    I’ll never forget when he first started at Bunzl he shared with me a note from his dad, Art Jaeger who had worked at Bunzl. This note provided Jim tips to be HONEST, FAIR and SUPPORTIVE. These two men were true gentlemen and will always be known for their friendship, and professionalism. Truly Jim will be missed, but not forgotten.

  35. I worked with Jim years ago at the original Blarney Stone. He was such a great guy. He was always laughing and kind. He was also the only bartender who didn’t pick on us (much). He has continued to see Kurt ( as his dentist) for years. He always enjoyed seeing him. Please accept our deepest condolences. Cherish the memories during this unimaginable time. Hug your kids tight. We are truly sorry for your loss. There are no words. God bless you and your family during this time.
