It is with heartfelt grief that we announce the sudden passing of Jim Stricker, Thursday, May 7, 2009.

Jim enjoyed a life-long career in the transportation industry and was loved and admired by many. He was a mentor to many but a friend to all. His experience included years with: American President Lines, Exel Transportation, IDEXX Distribution and Cleo Wrap. He was involved as a member of the Traffic Club of Memphis dating back to the 1980’s including President in 1995, Secretary-Treasurer from 1997-2002 and other board positions from 2004-2009.

He was also a member of the Associated Transportation Club from 2004-2009. In addition to his contributions to the transportation industry, he served our country as a Sergeant in the U. S. Marine Corps, was Assistant Troop Leader in the Boy Scouts and a Brother of Lambda Chi Alpha.

Jim was transitioning between companies and life insurance was not yet in place; therefore the Traffic Club of Memphis would like to coordinate a fund raiser to assist Roberta, Billy and Alex in funeral and related expenses.

Sincerely,

The Traffic Club of Memphis
