April 30, 2026To the family of Jim. It's with deep regret that I just learned of Jim's passing. I'm deeply sorry. I live in central wisconsin and saw his name in the labor paper. I worked with Jim in the trim department in the it's and it's later in the engine division of AMC and Chrysler. Jim was a great guy, hard working and loyal. I am proud that he supported me with his vote for many years while we were in the shop. Later when he retired and was on the recreation committee of the retiree chapter. Jim made me a carving of a fish with a fake one thousand dollar bill that he had retirees sign when I left the chapter. That carving still hangs on my wall twenty years later. I will miss him and may he rest in peace. Phil Anastasi
