Condolence: To all the Pasic Family, I met Jim for the first time in June 1972 when I started work with Ovalstrapping. Jim was truly my Mentor and taught me all I know about the strapping equipment we produced. Great friend, brilliant engineer and a very wonderful person. I will complete 45 years with Oval and Plastex this coming June and just knowing Jim Pasic has made this time all the better. Love to you all....Howard

Condolence: Dear Pasics, What an EPIC Mom and Dad you share. I’ll never forget a day Jim and I spent at White Pass with one of the brothers, (the handsome one… with loose heals on his skis). Jim was kind to ski at my beginner pace. Following him was a graduate program in beautiful flow. He skied like a 10th MD guy and we had a ball. He loved the outdoors and sharing it with Y’all. As I try to introduce Jim’s Loyal Acolyte Ronnie Berry and his wife Kim to the “ski life”, we are surely motivated by what this tranquility meant to a mind so active. Jim’s decision to retire and how he pursued retirement was a lesson in Doing Things Right. Jack White phoned one day in a bit of a “stir” and said breathless Pasic’s gonna RETIRE… Like almost immediately! I didn’t do anything (above the normal) to make him mad!” Jim wasn’t angry. Quite the contrary, he was in command of choice and made his in a Thoughtful and abiding fashion. The first time I saw him at a function after he retired, he announced he was building clocks. I think he was growing the trees for raw material worthy of his vision but that was Jim. He was onto something. Jim had a VERY clear vision for a robust retirement and I site that always when chums are thinking of transitioning away from the work they have been intensely involved in. Jim benefited mightily from having a precise plan of how he would keep his imagination and energy harnessed when there was no “Stappmaster” to evolve. Good on him. I saw him a couple times at Oakridge. We never played together because he was coming off his 0:Dark:30 tea off about the time I was rolling onto the course. Playing in cold and wet I’ve done. Occasionally played in darkness. Never both at the same time. Oh yeah and then there was that “work” thing. Jim accomplished SO MUCH with that ample brain. I never asked him which of his adventures in design he was most proud of. Pretty sure Y’all would have ranked wayyy above tying machines but he was a huge influence on the industries he connected to. As luminous figures like Jim and Shirley and Jack White and Harry Haxton pass to the ages, they leave us with their splendors, accomplishments and aspirations for colleagues and loved ones. Jim and Shirley loved All Y’all soooo much. We are privileged to have been a part of that life and inspiration. All the Best, David Lamb

Condolence: Russ & the whole Pasic family - my heart goes out to you, loosing both parents in such a short period of time. The memories you have will make things more tolerable at the present time, later you will find yourself smiling for an unknown reason, but you will be thinking of them. It's a calming feeling. Take care, always know you can rely on friends & family.
