It is with a heavy heart to inform our construction community and family that Jim Grothaus, Senior Business Development Engineer, passed away suddenly this past week. We are stunned by this tragic loss; Jim has been an integral part of our Cemstone family for the past 3 years. Prior to joining our Business Development Team in 2021, Jim worked for the University of Minnesota and Hancock Concrete Products. For those of you who had the pleasure of working with Jim, you already know of his strong work ethic, commitment to his fellow coworkers, and dedication to the transportation industry that truly made him such an important member of the team and joy to work with. His dad jokes delivered daily smiles and joys to those that knew him. Jim was a person’s person who seemed to know everyone and everyone knew him. His work in the transportation field is well known and respected by his many colleagues and friends. His efforts at Cemstone exposed our company and the products we offer to new opportunities in the municipal markets, and he will be missed. Outside of the office, Jim was a very dedicated husband and father. Any chance he had, Jim proudly cheered his children on from the sidelines, always looking to tell you of their successes. Jim enjoyed entertaining with his wife and industry friends. Our thoughts are with Jim’s wife, Amy, their children, and the rest of the Grothaus family. James (Jim) H. Grothaus, P.E.
