On Monday July 29th, 2024, Jim Littich traveled home to his beloved family and friends in Heaven. He was the dearest father of Lori Ann Allbright, and dear grandfather of Brett and Paige Allbright. He was a dear brother and in-law of Kathleen (Vince) Janson, and of the late John (Janet surviving) Littich. He also was one the dearest sons of the late John and Ann Littich. A wonderful uncle, great-uncle, cousin and true friend of many. Every person who has had the pleasures of meeting Jim always made it known that he was the sweetest and most amazing man they had met, and it couldn’t be closer to the truth. Services: His visitation will be held at Kutis South County Chapel, 5255 Lemay Ferry Road on Saturday, August 10th from 12:00 noon until the time of his services at 3:00 pm with military honors. Mr. Littich was a proud 36-year employee of Anheuser-Busch, and was most proud of his 3 years of military service in the Army with time stationed in South Korea. Jim also was awarded as an expert rifleman while serving. The family would greatly appreciate donations made in Jim’s honor to any Veterans organizations or the Patriot Guard Riders, as Jim was most proud of serving his country. Also, a dear thank you to Charles Darr, Michael Bowman and Isaiah Shuey… “Papa Jim” loved you all!
My heart aches with the loss of this wonderful man!! He was a great manager and an even better friend. He had a great sense of humor & a sense of the ridiculous that helped his department keep an even keel through tough times. He kept in touch and was always grateful for the friendships offered. The air I breathe is less rich now he doesn’t share it.
What an amazing man Jim was!!
I had the pleasure of getting to know him & work for him for years at AB.
Our prayers go out to his family at this time for I’m sure all miss him dearly!
RIP!!
Although I was never in the same Department as Jim during my AB days, we crossed paths for many years in the cafeteria, elevators, & hallways, always exchanging greetings / sharing stories, etc.
My deepest sympathy to Jim’s family.
To a great friend for many years, we will miss you greatly.
Rest in peace.

It was my pleasure to be able to work with Jim on a number of Corporate and BEC projects during my AB experience. No finer man to Know, Work and Travel with !!
A great guy, and a true friend. I worked with Jim in Bakery Products when I started at Anheuser Busch in 1963, and then later in MSG in the late 80s. What a sense of humor.
Jim will be missed by many.; He was a very kind, helpful and supportive individual. someone you could always count on. Rest in peace.
In the early 1980s, Jim was put in charge of developing one of the largest computer projects Anheuser-Busch had undertaken. Jim, who by his own admission was not computer savvy, found himself in the unenviable position of managing a diverse, at times eccentric/strongly opinionated group of people with varying levels of computer skill and experience, none of whom had ever worked on a project that size. I was fortunate to be a member of that group.
Every successful undertaking requires a strong foundation. Jim provided that foundation. His faith in our abilities never wavered even when we felt the challenges were too great or the schedules unrealistic. He insulated us as best he could from corporate political battles. He fought to provide resources we needed to be successful. He led with courage and integrity. Jim was there for us both professionally and personally. He celebrated our accomplishments. He provided comfort and assistance when we faced adversity.
Knowing and working for Jim was both a privilege and an honor. My memories of him are a blessing.
WE LOVE YOU JIMMY!❤️
