COLUMBIANA James R. “Jim” Golladay, passed peacefully Monday morning, Jan. 4, 2021, with his wife by his side.
Jim was born Sept. 21, 1944, in Steubenville, the son of Robert and Thiery Lodge Golladay. He was a 1962 graduate of Cambridge High School.
Jim was a tremendous person to all furry friends and humankind alike. If you were fortunate to have met him, you’d have adored him immediately… he was just that kind of person. Upon meeting him, you did not go from stranger to friend. In his eyes, you went from stranger to family.
Jim’s career was long and successful. He had the entrepreneurial spirit and believed fully in the free market. He partnered with his father at the Rogers Mill in Rogers, right after high school and grew the business to overcapacity, leading to the founding of his greatest success, Ohio Pet Foods, in 1978.
