Salentine,  James Lee (Jim), of Greenfield, 78, found peace on March 8, 2015, in the care of  Zilber Hospice after complications from cancer. Born  March 30, 1936, in Waukesha to Raymond and Gladys (nee Eck) Salentine.  Former  owner of Ray's Garage, Inc. (later Ray's Towing) of Milwaukee,  WI.  Founder  of the Wisconsin Towing Association and inducted into the International Towing  and Recovery Hall of Fame.

He will be remembered for his pioneering ideas in the towing and  recovery industry, his guidance and assistance to other towers and those in  need, and his unique, bold and colorful personality.
