Vicki and I wish to express our sorrow in the loss of Jim. Even though we only knew Jim for a short time, we do feel the loss of a fellow corvette owner and friend. We know you will have a lot of support during this time from all your family and friends. We look forward to seeing you at future Corvette outtings. You and your family will be in our prayers.

Debbi, I had the priviledge of meeting Jim several years ago and getting to know him thru our mutual Corvette hobby. Sharon and I have since moved out of state but remember Jim as a vibrant and involved Corvette enthuasist who graced us all with his courage last year at Waco. You and you family are in our thoughts and prayers.
