Shirley, John and Paul - I am more sorry than I can say for your loss. I have such good memories of Jim from Oneonta, as well as from Germany with your John and Paul playing with my Sarah and John. My thoughts are with you. Debbie (Squires) Ramsey

Shirley--here is a line from a song I wrote for him all those years ago:
Keep him free, let him be the wind blowing where he wants to go, and come what may--keep him free.
Find peace where you can, woman.

Dear Shirley,
We are so very saddened, and completely stunned to hear of Jim's sudden passing. We loved reading about Jim's life; what a wonderful, accomplished person! As you know, Mom was very fond of him as well. We love you, and feel deeply for you and your family. Will see you and talk with you very soon.

Dear Shirley and boys, While I am in Portland as I write this and will be unable to attend the memorial to celebrate Jim's life, I will keep all of you uppermost in thought tomorrow. I loved reading about his life and am sure that there will be many more tributes to his goodness, kindness, loving care for his family from all of your friends and family who'll be there to support you. Love, Sandy Anderson
