Kennicott Brothers Co. and The Pete Garcia Co. both contributed $1,000 to establish this new memorial tribute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI have had the pleasure of knowing Jim Nordlie since the late 50s. His personality, drive and traits helped me establish goals for my future. He will be missed,\u201d said Pete Garcia,&nbsp;Chairman of The Pete Garcia Company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nordlie was born on Jan. 12, 1923 in Detroit, Mich. and received a business degree from the University of Michigan. After graduation and his return from military service in World War II, he joined Nordlie Inc., a Michigan-based family wholesale floral business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under his leadership, Nordlie Inc. expanded to seven stores in Michigan, Ohio and Florida.&nbsp;The company merged with Kennicott Brothers Co. in 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cJim Nordlie dedicated his life to the flower industry,\u201d said Red Kennicott, Chairman and CEO of Kennicott Brothers Co.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHis integrity and dedication to his employees and customers have been an inspiration to me for many years. It has truly been an honor for Kennicott Brothers Company to have become associated with Jim and Nordlie Inc,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having a passion for roses, Nordlie managed two rose-growing greenhouses in Ohio and two rose farms in Guatemala. He also served as President of the Wholesale Florist and Florist Supplier Association from 1966-1968.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His dedication to the floral industry earned him many awards and honors throughout his lifetime, including the Leland T. Kintzele Distinguished Service Award in 1988, as well as induction into the Michigan Floral Foundation Hall of Fame in 2011. Nordlie was admired by employees, customers and colleagues throughout the industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"nmc-buttons aligncenter  buttons   aligncenter\" id=\"block_a2b399fb70806510148012f088611395\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/endowment.networkforgood.com\/projects\/71074-donate-to-afe\" class=\"btn\" target=\"_blank\">Make a Contribution<\/a>\t<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>or send a check to: <br>Endowment Floral Americano<br>c\/o Jim Nordlie Memorial Tribute<br><strong>610 Madison Street, Ste. 101, PMB 803<\/strong><\/strong><br><strong>Alexandria, VA 22314<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The family is always notified of donations and contributions can be made in any amount.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"template":"","news-categories":[31,48,29],"class_list":["post-2154","news","type-news","status-publish","hentry","news-categories-latest-news","news-categories-memorials","news-categories-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>AFE Memorial Tribute Established for Jim Nordlie<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Kennicott Brothers Company, Nordlie Inc. and The Pete Garcia Company have established the Jim Nordlie Memorial Tribute through AFE.
