Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. Jim worked in my office at Univers and always, always greeted me with a smile and a story. I will miss him dearly as an employee and a friend and will forever be blessed to have known him for as many years as I did. Deepest regards from myself, my family and the entire Univers team in Maitland, Florida

Deepest sympathy to Jim's family. As a Long Beach alumni of 1964, it is sad to say goodbye to another alumni. I remember "Andy" although he graduated in 1961. May you all have wonderful memories to cherish.

I knew Jim from working with him at Univers. I was looking to seeing him again in October. He was a fine man with good values who truly loved his family and his country. I remember when he got Jamie to autograph a picture for my daughter Deanna. Stay strong and stay together during this. May God Bless all of you.

Jim was one of the dearest cousins a girl could have. He was always sweet to me and I loved him dearly for it.
He will be greatly missed by all who were touched by him. Love you, Jim. You're in good company with your folks and mine, Tim, the grandparents and so many more.
Trish, he was such a good man and he adored you.
Hugs to all of you. You're in my heart and prayers.
