Dear; Clients, Friends, and Colleagues.   It is with great sadness that I regret to inform you that Jim Ferguson has passed away. As many of you may have or have not known, Jim has been battling lung cancer for a few years. He was relentless in his fight and very few knew that he battled this disease while working.   Jim was one of the original pioneers in professional painting. During Jim’s prime he was a pilot and had two private planes that traveled him to his five offices across three states and more than 250 employees.  He was also one of the only ones to have had both union and non-union companies in his day. He also helped pioneer a non-union apprenticeship program. Until recently he served on the board of Area one JATC. Many of the painting companies that are around today were former employees of Jim at one time or another. He trained many of his competitors and did it with a mindset to have an even playing field in the industry. He changed the lives of thousand people over the course of his 50+ years in the industry. We were fortunate to have had this one of kind wisdom here in our office. He will truly be missed.   Every year 200,000 people are diagnosed with Lung Cancer and 150,000 people die. I ask if you would please join us and raising money in Jim’s name and help stop the #1 cancer killer in the world.   Your donation would be greatly appreciated
