Jim Deakin was an exceptional person in character and love. He tirelessly helped people around and was a real role model for me in my life; he was a super fellow and I think of him often. I can't believe he is gone; he was an uncle and a father to me.

I don't know if you'll remember me or not. My name is Denzil Clagg. I worked with Jim in the 1960's at Blenko's. He was my boss. He helped me a great deal with being where I am today in the glass industry. I am now in North Carolina and still working in glass. He help guide me in my work as a maintenence worker. I will always remember him as a friend as well as a former boss. He will be missed.
