Jim and I were High School friends, I lost contact with him after I saw him after we had both came home from Viet Nam. We laughed a lot and talked about Brigham and our friends. We did not talk much about the war. We were both messed up. I hope he had a good life and I am sorry he died so young. May he rest in peace. Scott Robinson

I enjoyed visiting with Jimmy at the last two reunions. In my mind he will always be the high school kid with a perpetual grin and eyes full of mischief. I'm so sorry I won't be in Utah for the service.

I saw Jimmy last at our class reunion. He was the same wonderful guy I remember from High School. God Bless you Jimmy, may you find peace in God's arms.
