Remembering Jim Thompson… “Jim Thompson has been an important part of Pacific Coast Building Products since 1963, originally as Legal Counsel, followed by Board Member and eventually Chairman of the Board. Jim was part of our family. Jim’s commitment to helping others and serving the community inspired us to sponsor this tournament and begin a relationship with Easter Seals and the Rotary Club of Carmichael that’s lasted over 40 years.” Dave Luccetti President & CEO Pacific Coast Building Products, Inc. “I met Jim and Pat Thompson at this tournament 27 years ago. After I joined Pacific Coast, Jim became a trusted mentor and friend. He was a brilliant attorney and businessman, and an even better person. I will miss him.” Darren Morris President Alcal Specialty Contracting, Inc. “Jim Thompson served on the Easter Seals Board of Directors and was among the first to greet me when I was hired in 1995. He helped Easter Seals navigate through challenging times and his persistent, steady guidance was instrumental as the organization grew into a prominent disability service provider. His engaging wit, understated wisdom and calm demeanor are the distinctive characteristics that made him so very special. Jim’s love and devotion to his wife Pat and their family was ever present as he would detail their activities and accomplishments during our lunches together. We are indebted to Jim Thompson for his many contributions to our community and for enriching the lives of all who knew him.” Gary Kasai President & CEO Easter Seals Superior California Jim joined Carmichael Rotary in 1957. He was a Past President and District Governor. Jim was everything a Rotarian could be and more. This tournament would not be what it is without Jim’s leadership and involvement. Carmichael Rotary will not be the same without him. |
