Jim Less, the founder of Fort Worth, Texas-based distributor Professional Flooring Supply, passed away Dec. 9 at the age of 84.
Less founded the company in 1977, and today it has 15 branches across seven states.
Less was a member and served on the board of directors of the National Association of Floor Covering Distributors. He also founded the Floor Installation Association of North America and served for 10 years as president and director of the association.
“Jim Lee built the foundation of our business based on three things: a drive to succeed, acting with integrity in everything he did and persistence in the face of difficult challenges,” said Dan Lee, CEO of Professional Flooring Supply, in a statement. “Those three things are fundamental to our business success today and are guiding the second and third generations of our family as they lead the company.”
