Sanitary Maintenance has received news that longtime manufacturer's rep, Jim Humiston, has died.

An announcement called Humiston "one of the orginal road warriors," who covered the upper Midwest from 1963 until his retirement in 1992.

"Many distributors remembered Jim pulling up in either his little diesel Mercedes or astride his BMW motorcycle, presenting the newest items from Impact, Canberra, Fresh, Haviland, or the many other lines he represented over the years," it added.

Humiston passed away April 11.
