I worked Jim at Copes. It was a pleasure to have known him.
I worked with Jim at SPX Flow/Copes-Vulcan. He was such a great guy always helping others.
My deepest sympathy to Jim’s family. He was such a good guy and friend. He will be greatly missed. Cindy Coyne
Jim has been a friend for more than 25 years. At one point we worked together, but more importantly we remained friends even though I had moved my family away from the Erie area 20 years ago. In fact Jim helped us move to southeast PA back in 2001. I was really saddened by the news of his passing, but I’ll remember our friendship always. He was one of the good guys. Honest, kind hearted, a true friend.
