Kathy, we are thinking of you. Our family will always remember Jim as a role model for young people. That began when you babysat for our children when they were very small. He always had time to chat with them at the end of a busy day. Love and prayers, Stan and Judy Dixon

Dear Kathy,
I was so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. I have lots of good memories of spending time with you both. Remember when we accidentally caught the garage on fire at your apartment when we emptied an ashtray into a can of wrapping paper from your wedding presents?!
Keep your love and your memories of Jim in your heart and he'll always be with you.
Love to you and your family.

To the Family of Jim Walters,
I knew Jim for most of my life; I was a year ahead of him at Ferndale High, and worked for many years with him at College of the Redwoods. It is with heartfelt saddness that I learned of his illness, and, now his death.
Jim was always an unassuming person, very dedicated and loyal. When you look for a person who represents the rock-solid foundation for a community, then Jim and Ferndale were an obvious match. Many people go throughout their lives trying to find happiness, elusive to most, but Jim found it right at home with community and family.
Tom Giacomini and I have often joked that working at College of the Redwoods was the best job we ever had; well, I believe Jim shared that philosophy as well!
I'm saddened for your loss and Ferndale's loss of a chunk of its foundation. My condolences.

Kathy,
Our family sends you lots of love during this time. We were all so sorry to hear of Mr. Walter's passing. When I told David he said, "you mean my coach?" He was so sad and sends his love as do we all.

Kathy, I am so sorry for your lose. I remember the day Betty Boozer, Joe Gozzi and I introduced you to Jim - seems like yesterday! We knew back then that you two were meant for each other, and it is with great pleasure to know you had such a wonderful life together. He was always a great person, as are you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Kathy & family
We are so sorry about Jim. What a great guy he was and loved and respected by so many, young and old. He certainly touched our Granson Travis's life as he was his 8th grade coach. They had a contest going daily during that year.
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. May you feel God's strength and love as you go through this difficult time.

There is no way of knowing how many people Walt touched and influenced during his life. If Ferndale had a Sports Hall of Fame, or any Hall of Fame for that matter, Jim Walters would be my very 1st nominee. The Lord has taken a great one home. My sincerest thoughts and prayers to his family. Please find comfort in knowing how much he was loved and respected by all.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you Kathie and your family. Walt will certainly remain a legend at College of the Redwoods. More importantly, he will live on in the hearts and spirits of all who were fortunate to have met him, played on one of his youth teams, was an athlete or coach at C/R during Walt's tenure, or whomever had the opportunity to develope a personal friendship with him. In a world where the majority of folks change their minds or switch alligences with the passing wind, Walt could be counted on to remain solidly grounded in life and supportive of those he respected. Please know that although we regret that we will not be able to attend the celebrations of Walt's life back in California we will forever hold on to the special memories of Walt's friendship and the many contributions he has made to his communities.

I was at CR from 1980-1993 and got to know Walt quite well. I considered him a friend and we used to have a lot of "chats" mainly about the 49ers (his team) and the Rams (my team). He was "one of the good guys" and was never at a lost to speak his mind. My sincere condolences to his family.

Our entire family sends our best to Kathy and the family. Jim was a great man and gave countless hours to serve the youth of the Eel River valley. Not many have given back to the community, like Jim has.

My prayers go out to Walt's family. Many good times and great stories were told by Walt when I knew him as I played at CR. Walt is now with our Lord; the ultimate coach.
