James Noland Obituary

Julia Anne,
We think of Big Jim & you often. We miss him and the good times we enjoyed with each other.
Love you and the boys,
Jacie & Buddy

Even as the years move on, there are those events and/or persons who move along with you as a memory. Jim Noland fits that description without a doubt. I reside close to Michelin's headquarter in Greenville. Needless to say, I see that facility every day of my life and memories of Jim are with me.

Julia and Family ~ Upon the anniversary of Jim's passing, we paused to reflect on our relationship. An Old English Proverb says it best: "Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, but memories no one can steal." Forever in our hearts.

You're missed dearly..

Love the Angel watching over us daily...

Although we are approaching the one year Anniversary of Jim's passing, the memories keep him present in my mind quite clearly. He was a true Brother who was always available. My children considered Jim an Uncle. My prayers go out to the Noland Family for their loss.

Julia and Family,
Kerry and I can't tell you how much we thought of Jim. He had incredible people skills with the ability to teach them to others. He had fun and enjoyed life. You can't replace him. May God Bless.

Mr Noland was one of the finest men that I have had the pleasure of knowing. At an early age and for many years Jim has had a huge impact on my life and also that of my son. I have the fondest memories of our families times together in France when Jim and my Dad (Ron Rossi Sr) started their careers with Michelin. Being in Jim's presence was always filled with happiness, great family times and sincere laughter. He along with Julia, most recently where a key support during my son's years at The Citadel. He truly was a life long friend and always gave his all to family and friends. You will be thought of often and missed forever Jim. Thank you for ALL that you did for me and my family!!

Mr Noland and I met about five years ago when I moved to Charleston. At that time I was just the new guy at the bank, but I soon became his trusted banker, and I'd like to think, a friend. I'll miss Mr Noland's voice on the phone when he'd call for an appointment, or when he'd be in the lobby and would say hello to me from the teller line. My deepest condolences go out to Ms Julia and his family. Mr Noland was a great man, and I'm honored to have known him for a small part of my life.

Big Jim,
You will be missed! We will cherish our memories of you.

This is the saddest news that I have had in some time. Jim was very instrumental in my career at Michelin and played a huge role in my family and children's lives. He was always there when decisions were needed and his guidance was invaluable when moves and uncertainty seemed unclear. He was bigger than life yet had a heart of gold. My measuring stick as a manager and as a person. God Bless Jim and his family.

I had the Honor of meeting Jim in Sept 1976 when we both joined Michelin. Our respective family's ventured to France to learn about our new employer. At that time we did not realize that we would become close family friends. Many stories and memories exist between us and a few of them will remain close to the vest. I am thankful that I will always have memories which will allow me to never forget Jim. May his soul rest in Peace. Bon Voyage, Mon Ami.

Jim was the guy at work you looked to to provide wisdom on how to handle a personnel issue fairly. If you worked for Jim you knew he would have your back ( if you were right) no matter who he had to confront to defend you! May he rest in peace knowing he always took the high road!

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.
