Mrs Logsdon,
I knew Jim back in the 90's when I worked with BFI and then recently when Jim & I started working together on my Youngstown rail transfer station and South Carolina landfill. I certainly want to extend my sincere condolences to you & your family; but I also want to express my admiration for one of the most influential, positive, kind hearted, and honest businessmen I have ever had the pleasure of knowing & working with. I just found about Jim & I'm simply devastated. I'm so sorry & wish I could help you in some fashion. If there is anything I can do to help you please don't hesitate to contact me.
I'm always available to you & your family if there is anyway I can help.

Val, so sorry to hear of the passing of Jim. Such a good and kind man. He was so kind to call me to see how I was doing with my first Christmas without Ray. We always had so much fun boating and fishing on Lake Erie. My condolences to the entire family.
Rest in peace, my friend.

Oh Jim, i worked with you in the hay days of waste management of burgundy and gray before we changed to packer colors. Always the life of the party but also a hard worker. You and Ray Kellas! Hope there's not a rap sheet on you. My condolences on such an unexpected loss. RIP Jim.
