REMEMBERING AND HONORING JIM WALTERS
______
HON. EARL L. ``BUDDY'' CARTER
of georgia
in the house of representatives
Tuesday, May 25, 2021
Mr. CARTER of Georgia. Madam Speaker, I rise today to remember and honor Jim Walters who passed away on February 22nd at the age of 83.
Throughout his life, Jim was no stranger to making an impact and improving the lives of others. Jim moved to Gainesville, Georgia in 1971 where he raised his family and became a pillar of philanthropy and generosity in this community.
He was a pioneer in the Georgia Industrial Loan Association, owning many loan offices and businesses throughout the state and country.
Through his success, Jim gave back to his community in countless ways.
He served on Georgia's Board of Natural Resources, the Georgia Ports Authority, and 40 different nonprofit organizations.
He mentored, encouraged, supported and inspired all who met him, and Georgia will be forever touched by his legacy.
My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and all who knew him during this most difficult time.
