Jim was a lot of fun in the West High school band. I was glad to get to talk with him at our 50 class reunion last summer. He never lost his positive attitude!

My family and I are very sorry to hear of his passing. I have very fond memories of eating at Taco J's ever since I can remember. Ever since I was born, my dad always took my brother and me to eat at Taco J's. Every time we saw Jim, he always had a smile on his face and looked forward to serving us. He will be missed.

Conley Family:
I recently learned of Jim's passing and wanted to take the opportunity to express my deepest sympathy for your loss. Like so many people, I knew Jim through Taco J's. But where I differ is that I wasn't a customer; I was an employee (from 1984 – 1986). He was good man and I carry fond memories of him, Carole and that time with me still today.
May the many wonderful times you shared together help you through this difficult period.
