Rest in peace Jim. Thank you for being my friend for 38 years!
The Jim Newmeyer, I knew, was a man of many parts. A man who was a Law unto Himself. Not one to cower or yield, he worked to help the weak and the defenseless.
I can clearly remember how he went about advising and helping a young employee of his company (Ana Perez) to get representation to reach a settlement after her husband was killed in an accident on the Palmetto Highway.
How he assisted a Coach whose son was in jail and Andy the young man he was currently assisting to get into college. Three years ago while I was still working for Jim, I recall he had me put together 30 portfolios of Andy’s vital statistics with photos
showing Andy in many football poses. Jim sent these out to all the coaches he knew, hoping that he could help Andy get a scholarship. Jim was always trying to give the little guy a 'break’. His heart was big and his generosity was boundless. He was a man of great determination and strength. He was very smart and had the know-how to do whatever he wanted.
But above all this, Jim cared immensely for his family and his life mission was to see his children have the education they needed to obtain a good life. This he achieved.
Jim passing was sudden and untimely, and for those who knew him, his passing will not only be a great loss but will leave a vacuum in the hearts of those who were close to him.
Jim travelled the journey of life WELL and is now at rest. Rest in Peace, Jim.
To his Family: May God Bless you with his loving Grace and Comfort you all.
Love,
Val Chin
