Jim was a great guy. He was the kind of detective that criminals hate. If he got on your case he didn't quit. He was also a very thorough and savvy cop with a common sense approach to police work. I learned some good things from him. To the family of Jim: May God be with you as you grieve. May he comfort you and give you peace.

I think my heart stopped for a minute when my Dad told me the news. I've said some extra prayers for Norma, Jamie, and Julie these last few days, and I give my deepest sympathies to the entire family.

Jim called me every May 2 to wish me a happy birthday - as this day was also his date of appointment the Bureau of Police. I worked with him in the Detective Division and have fond memories. God bless him and his family.

I know this is a very sad time for you and your family. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you as you go through this very difficult time. Warmest Regards, Haward Baar
