A big Man with a big heart passed away in Oct. 2002. Jim French, Union brother, highly skilled journeyman lineman, family man, and friend to any that needed a friend.

Jim was a big tough full Cherokee Indian out of local 1002, Tulsa Ok. As I remember everyone of Jims kids attended collage and become Dr. Lawyers etc.

Jim was an active union man. One tough lineman. He will be missed.
