In 1965 Jim Caroon, and a few other business owners joined together to fight a legislative battle in the Virginia General Assembly that had negative consequences for the tire industry. Through this alliance they formed the Virginia Tire Dealers and Retreaders Association, which Jim is recognized as one of the "founding fathers". He served on the first Board of Directors and was President in 1971. His son, Jim Jr. would follow in his Dad's footsteps in the tire and auto industry and also with our Association, also serving on the Board and was President in 1993. We owe a big gratitude to both Jim and Jim Jr. for their vision, leadership and friendship. Today, 51 years later, the Virginia Automotive Association continues to thrive!

Jim, your Dad was a great leader, a fun guy to be around, and will be missed by all of us who fortunate enough to have shared his friendship.
Steve Akridge
Executive Director
Virginia Automotive Association

I am so sorry for your loss. What a life he lived! I loved the time we worked at Holden Group together and how he always complained about the women "gettin' in his drawers!" (He kept chocolate in his desk drawer.) He had a big heart and such a great sense of humor and will be sorely missed.

clay pigeons at our home in Reva years ago, I had the pleasure of visiting him at his home in Dogwood Village a few times. He never changed in his friendship to me,
God bless you, the family,and the Lord be with Jim on his journey. Regards,
