Providence, RI – It is with great sorrow that we announce the passing of Jim Choquette, a beloved and integral member of our Rhode Island office and Warehouse operations. Jim’s unexpected departure on April 10, 2025, has left an irreplaceable void in the hearts of his colleagues and all who had the privilege of working with him. His warmth, dedication, and unwavering work ethic made him a cherished part of the team, and his legacy will continue to resonate long after his passing.

Jim was a valued member of our team for over a decade, having joined the company when he moved to Rhode Island in 2012. From day one, it was clear that Jim was more than just an employee – he was a friend, mentor, and source of strength to those who worked alongside him. His commitment to the company was evident in everything he did. Whether it was leading his team with patience and kindness, tackling complex tasks in the warehouse, or offering a word of encouragement during difficult times, Jim was the steady force that helped hold everything together.

As a member of the Warehouse operations, Jim played an instrumental role in ensuring the smooth running of the department. His meticulous attention to detail, extensive knowledge of logistics, and hands-on approach to problem-solving helped to streamline processes and improve efficiency across the board. Jim’s ability to handle even the most challenging situations with grace made him a go-to person for many of his colleagues, who often turned to him for advice or support.

Beyond his professional contributions, Jim was known for his infectious sense of humor, warm personality, and deep sense of compassion. He had an uncanny ability to brighten any room he walked into, often with a well-timed joke or a thoughtful gesture that made those around him feel valued and appreciated. Jim’s kindness extended far beyond the workplace; he was always there for his friends, family, and community, offering a helping hand whenever it was needed.

His colleagues remember him not only as a dedicated worker but also as someone who took the time to truly connect with those around him. “Jim was the kind of person who would always ask how you were doing, and he genuinely cared about the answer,” said Sarah Mitchell, a close colleague. “He was an incredible listener and a supportive friend. His positive attitude and generosity of spirit will be missed by all of us.”

Jim’s passing has deeply impacted everyone at the Rhode Island office. His presence, both in the office and in the warehouse, was a constant source of stability and camaraderie. His contributions went far beyond the day-to-day tasks he managed – he shaped the culture of the office with his sense of humor, integrity, and work ethic.

As we reflect on Jim’s life, we are reminded of the countless ways he touched our lives and the enduring impact he had on the company and everyone who had the privilege of working with him. Whether it was helping colleagues with difficult projects, sharing a laugh during a busy day, or offering advice, Jim’s presence was felt in every aspect of our work environment. His legacy will live on through the work he did, the relationships he built, and the memories he created with all of us.

In this difficult time, our thoughts and condolences go out to Jim’s family. We understand that this is an incredibly painful loss for them, and we stand with them in their grief. We hope they find comfort in knowing that Jim’s memory will be cherished by all of us who were fortunate enough to know him.

To honor Jim’s memory, the company will be making a donation to a local charity that was close to Jim’s heart. Additionally, a small memorial will be held in the coming weeks for all those who would like to gather and pay their respects to the man who meant so much to so many.
