I'm so sorry to hear about Jim's passing. I worked with Jim at City Hall for many years. He was a very likeable, hard working and fun person. I will miss you Jim Boy!

So sorry to hear of Jim's passing. Although I had met Jim several times, I didn't know him well until I was given the opportunity to play in the band "Chaos" with Jim and Rich. circa (late 74 early 75) Jim's sense of humor, his generosity and his obvious musical talent made my time with the band very special. My condolences to Jim's family and friends. He will be missed.

I know that Jim is now where he always sang so eloquently about, the place where "I Know a Change Is Gonna Come." It was hard gettin' there brother, but we sure were glad to have you for the time that we did.

We just met and heard Jimmy this May at B.B. Lawnside, and enjoyed his blues style. Happy to say we bought his CD and will enjoy thinking of him as we listen to it through the coming years.
