In Loving Memory of Jim Stone

August 12, 2019 by Elizabeth

Heather Hohlowski is an amazing bird lover & rescue volunteer who has been supporting Palomacy from Day 1, way back when we started as MickaCoo in 2007. And while you may not know her, you know her work very well. Heather donated her skills to create both our beloved logos!

2007-2014

Launched 1/1/15

When Heather’s best friend of 32 years, Jim Stone, passed away, she promised to continue supporting birds in his memory. She has pledged a $5000 matching grant that will double Palomacy’s supporters’ donations & honor her dear friend’s wishes.

Jim Stone was Heather’s best friend for 32 years… Jim was an electrical engineer here in Silicon Valley for more than 30 years, originally hailing from Wisconsin. He loved all animals but especially birds. Jim passed away at Christmas 2017, after a 14-month struggle with cancer, at age 65. He asked Heather to continue supporting birds in his memory, and that is what her matching gift is for.
