I worked with Jim in Sarasota in the early 80s. He was a good man, a fine Christian and a blast to work with. He is with our Heavenly Father. I’m sorry I’m so late posting this. 

The thing I remember most is Mr. Pendleton (as we respectfully addressed him) yelling, “Kuuuuuuuuurt!!” Can’t unhear that! Lol

As an adult, I came to admire Jim’s financial savvy. 

Thanks for drinking beers with my dad and keeping him sane!

It is with heavy hearts that we are saying goodbye to our dear friend, Jim.   We loved talking and hearing about his many experiences.

One of our memories have stood out for years.  The night before my dad's surprise 75th birthday in which Kathy and Jim, and Kathy's parents were invited along with many guests, our hot water heater bottomed out at 10 PM the night before.  The next morning Jim saw Ken out in front of our house and asked how things were going, and when Ken responded, Jim said he could replace the hot water heater in time of the summer afternoon party.  They called Sears and were able to pick up and finish installing the heater just as guests were arriving with us greeting guests telling them that the water was turned off.  Lo and behold, Jim and Ken dressed and were cheered by all of our guests.  It was almost unbelievable to us!

We have many fond memories of both Jim and Kathy and deeply feel the loss our of good friends.

I have know Jim and Kathy for more than fifty years. We shared our teen years together and were in touch, sharing time together both in Michigan and Florida. Jim and Kathy really knew how to entertain when we visited.  There was never a boring minute. We shared many good memories.

Jim was a good friend and business partner.  We had many great times together including lunches at the various  diners, dives and, yes fine restaraunts that he had discovered over the years.  I will miss him.  Rest in peace Jim, Kathy and Katie.  Gary
