ALTHOFF, James Francis
James Francis Althoff, born September 9, 1928, died Thursday, September 9, 2004. James was born and raised in Effingham, Illinois. Jim attended St. Anthony High School. At the University of Illinois, he earned his BS in Accounting, and was a member of Phi Eta Sigma and Delta Sigma Phi Fraternities. Jim enjoyed a rich and interesting life. Jim joined the Navy at seventeen, immediately after graduating from high school. He was stationed in Asia while serving in the Navy. Among the last to leave, his ship was under attack as it left China. Jim's business career was varied and successful, presenting him with exciting opportunities. He recalled his favorite position as European Controller for Libby, McNeil, and Libby. He and his family lived in Switzerland in the mid-sixties, while Jim traveled all of Europe and the Middle East. In 1969 Jim joined Acco World Corporation of Northbrook, Illinois, where he served as Vice President of Finance, Corporate Secretary and Director. In structuring a management buyout, he became a principal of the company. In 1983, Jim was key in taking the company public. He spoke of the thrill of standing on the balcony of the New York Stock Exchange and watching Acco come up on the ticker for the first time. This extraordinary accomplishment marked only the third time in history that a company had gone public directly onto the New York Stock Exchange. Retiring from Acco in 1984, he and Marian moved to San Diego to enjoy retirement, pursue other business ventures, and hone his golf game. Jim was a devoted and caring husband, father, brother, uncle, and step-father, and a loving son and grandfather. Until her death in 1990, Jim called his mother every Monday morning regardless of where in the world his travels had taken him. Finding a phone was sometimes a challenge, but Jim persevered, and the phone always rang at Mom's house!Always generous with his time and assets, Jim was a member of the University of Illinois Presidents Council, a lifelong member of the Catholic Church, and a ten year board member of St. Vincent de Paul in San Diego, California. He was also Chairman of Buffalo National Bank in Buffalo Grove, Illinois, and a very active member of Financial Executives. In memory of his wife Marian, he initiated a scholarship at Central Michigan University. Jim will be fondly remembered as successful yet unpretentious, a man of caring and integrity, a man who valued family and friends above all else. He is preceded in death by his beloved wife, Marian. Jim is survived by his second wife, Louise; his son, James Todd (Lauren) and daughter, Michon Dowling (Scott), along with his step-children: Julie Seminitis (Matthew) and Todd Ingmire; sister Mary Baker (George), and cousin Elizabeth Cameron.
