Dear Claire & all the family

David Katzberg called me and told me the shocking news about Jim - Stan, Sarah and I are so saddened by this horrible loss - he was such a fun character and someone we thought would always be with us.I just can't believe that he is gone - I hope that my mom is there to welcome him to heaven - he died one day before her birthday which also made me sad. Please give Clair my love and tell her that we are thinking of her and sending her strength.

It was an honor and privilege to take care of Jim during his illness at Sisters Hospital. Even in the short time I knew him he impressed me as a man of courage, humor and great kindness. My deepest sympathies to the Murray and Miner clans.
