Happy Birthday Dear Friend!

Jamie, I searched and for some reason unsuccessfully, for so many years. We spent wonderfully happy times together during our years at Buff State. You helped me get a job selling ice cream to disabled kids and laughed at me when I told you that they never gave me enough money and I paid the rest. "They were playing you" he said laughing. He brought me to TGI Friday's, asked the bartender to make me Long Island iced teas, and he asked me to watch him work. He had everyone, at every table, laughing. I was in awe of him. When I graduated in 1980 and was about to head back home, we held hands in my apartment and he told me his head hurt. In truth, I believe our hearts hurt. I loved you then and I love you still. All that you've accomplished, all who love you, the difference you made for so many... it doesn't surprise me at all. You taught me to drink scotch, laugh harder than I ever had. Never stopped loving you, Jamie. I'm a better person for having known, laughed with and learned from you. Godspeed ❤

So sorry to have lost touch with Jamie a few years ago. I thought of him often and hoped he was well, but as many your life takes you in a different direction. He was a great fun and caring person and I will miss him.

Jamie and I went way back to his days at Buff State. We worked on the MD Dance Marathons together. He was a force to reckon with, he did not understand the word can't, but the marathons were successful because of him. We reconnected in the 90's and although he had been "sideswiped" and was in a chair, he was not diminished. He will be missed for all he did and for all he was. Goodbye friend

There has never been anyone so special and different in my life as Jamie. He gave so much of himself for others' sake, even though he seemed like the one in need.
To you Jamie -- friend and teacher of life-lessons.
Love,

Jamie was the kind of guy that all should strive to be. He never let anything get him down. He was funny, very smart, kind, caring, adventurous, sincere, so many positive adjectives!! A stranger was never a stranger to Jamie too long.
I remember when he worked at TGIFridays. I remember Jamie driving his VW with the "suicide knob" in the early 80's. I remember his telling me of his love for his family. He gave me wonderful advice on my love life! I had true respect for him because he deserved it.
One splash cream, one twirl of honey. I'm sure he's having his tea in heaven right now.
May God bless you, my friend.

Do not stand at my grave and forever weep.
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn’s rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and forever cry.
I am not there. I did not die.

Ruth and all of Jamie's family and many friends-
I am so sorry for your loss. Jamie was such an inspirational guy. I haven't had the chance to see him much in the past few years (since I moved to Henderson, Nevada), but he was such a good friend to me in the late '80s and '90s. I will always remember him for his quirky sense of humor and his love of music and all kinds of people.
God bless. -- Joan Burns Christopher

Crossing the Bar
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;
For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar.
By Alfred, Lord Tennyson
