    Jim was a mentor of mine. Sometimes you go through life never knowing the positive impact you had on certain people! I worked for Jim at Burger Chef in the late 60' and early 70's. He had a lot of faith in me when I was at a very young age. I will always be grateful to Jim for helping we grow in leadership and people skills. Rest in Peace my friend. Joe Bedore

    Jimmy was a good friend, i met him when I got hired on with Hardee's in 1986 he was the G M at Hardee's in Steubenville.... He was so dedicated to his job ... latter in life we met up again as employees for Arbys... when I would enter his store his first question to me was 'how's those grandkids of yours doin'.... I would tell him stories of mine and he would tell me stories of his.... he so loved those grandkids.... Jimmy you will be sorely missedBy all
