To the Dyess Family,
I am sorry to hear about Jim passing away. He was a very nice person to know. He was such a good Bowling Coach, no mater the age, he offered good bowling tips. He will be greatly missed. You all have good memories of your Father, Cherish those times and memories. You now have a very Special ANGEL watching down on you. You know he loved you.

To the Dyess family. My family wishes you to know how much knowing your dad means to all of us. When we were growing up in Slaterville he was involved in our lives as well as many others in the area. He will be missed.

Cathy,Lori and Helen,
I know the overwhelming feeling of losing a father. When your dad found out that my dad had passed away last year I talk to him and he made things alittle easier your dad had that kind of touch in his heart. Prays and thoughts are with all of you. The one thing always stuck in my mind was slow down are you going to a fire when we bowled.

Helen and Family, I had the pleasure of spending some time with your dad at some softball tournaments, and all families should be lucky enough to have such a strong presence in their midst. I'm sorry he did not get to see Quincy and Patrick graduate and grow into adulthood, but the lessons and examples he provided will serve as a roadmap for them, as they have for you. I'm sorry for your loss. - Steve

Jim will be missed by all who knew him. I first met Jim in 1965 while working Morse Chain. He enjoyed helping the kids with their bowling, Never did I see him but what he wasn't smiling. Rest in peace, Jim.

I am having a hard time expressing my feelings right now. I am still shocked by the passing of Dad. I want you all to know how much I loved Dad and will miss him. The last time I saw him he gave me his phone number so that we could talk. I'm really going to miss him. Please give Mom a big hug and kiss. LOVE TO ALL OF YOU. Dad has now jointed with others to watch over all of us. Love your sister Alway Jacquie

Dad,
I miss you so very much. I know you are in a more restful place and that you will always be here for me, just not where I can touch you. The hardest part is not hearing your voice, whether it's singing or yelling at me. Rest in peace my loving father - you have earned it. I miss you and love you so very much.

Those of us who want to offer comfort are at a loss, for words alone can never ease your pain, but time will help. And so will your memories...the way Jim looked, the way he smiled, and all those wonderful traits that were unique to him -- these will live in your heart, and he will always be a part of you. There are so many memories associated with him and what good ones they are...singing along while he played his guitar, fireworks at Bard's, his friendly ways -- and those jokes...! I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.
