Our best wishes to Jim's family. I will continue to use the Jupiter I bought from this fellow amateur a few years ago. We will miss seeing him at local hamfests and hearing him on hf.

I send my best wishes to Jim's family. I shall remember him for his warmth and kindness. Hearing his callsign was always a reason for cheer. The aether will not be the same without him.

My Condolences to Jim family. I had made contacts with Jim via Ham Radio many times over the past years. Just last week, I was able to purchase his TenTec Century 21 Transceiver, which I will continue to use on the air.
73, I hope the DX is just as good in heaven.

I knew Jim back in the early 70s and spoke with him (low power radio communications) quite a few times. He will be missed. Earl Andrews VE3AB

To the Douglas family.
My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
Jim was a regular with me on many of the amateur radio nets for many many years and a well known member of the fraternity.
Rest in peace Jim. 73
