Jim Pattison, Jr. is president of the company that owns ‘RIDE THE DUCKS’ in Branson, MO, where the boat accident killing 17 people occurred.

I BELIEVE that Jim Pattison, Jr, is the son of JIM PATTISON, THE RICHEST MAN IN CANADA, worth $9.5B, and owner of one of the biggest companies in Canada, Pattison Group which has revenues of $8B a year.

His success has been predicated on Pattison’s having a “Midas touch”. He is considered the “Warren Buffet of Canada” and Buffet is an investor in his businesses,

The reason I believe the two are related is because Pattison senior owns Ripley’s Believe It or Not , his son, Jim jr. runs the business for him, and there is a Ripley’s in Branson.

I think this accident, and owners, needs to be researched more. Just got started and made this connection.
