The Passing of Jim Dial

https://www.newcomerakron.com/Obituary/183154/James-Dial/Akron-OH
I'm saddened to announce the passing of Jim Dial. At 85 years of age, Jim passed into eternity April 3, 2020.

Jim's ministry to boys and men through Christian Service Brigade began circa 1974 . I (Dale Kinkade) first remember Jim as a Senior Counselor at camp in 1985. His knack for practical jokes and corny humor reciprocated the same from the Junior Counselors - creating memories for a lifetime. I also had the privilege of being Jim's assistant leader in the Battalion riflery program, and serving with him on the Regional Council. Jim served at camp for over 30 years and served on the Ohio Valley CSB Ministries board until the age of 78. Many generations of brigadiers, campers, Junior Counselors, and Brigade leaders have fond memories of Jim.

Just beyond Jim’s comical front was a man who studied God’s Word in depth as a scholar. He continually grew in his knowledge and understanding of the Scripture, and in personally living out his faith. It was Jim’s desire to share Christ and help others grow in their relationship with God and in their love of God’s Word that drove him to never stop ministering through CSB Ministries and beyond. Jim took every opportunity to share Christ. He was sharing the hope of Christ with his medical staff until he could no longer speak.
