To the Jordan family. My heart goes out to you in this sad time. My dad, Milt, had told me many stories of his dives and how much he loved it. Out of all the stories, I would hear Jim's name time and time again and how much fun they had together and how much their friendship was treasured. I just wanted to say that although I didn't know Jim personally, I know he was a great person, husband, father and friend. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Jim was such a fantastic person and excellent referee. We worked many games together during my first years as a referee, and I always looked forward to assignments with him as a part of my crew. His arrival atop the silver Harley was a great event to witness!
The news has hit me hard; what a tragic accident doing what he loved.
I wanted so badly to attend the funeral yesterday, but the trip from Chicago was not possible last minute.
My prayers are with his family.

Jeanie, Cori and family:
I was very fortunate to work closely with Jim at Datacard for 10 years. He often spoke of his family, motorcycles and diving. He taught me to create fun regardless of the circumstance. I will miss his open heart, rolling laugh, big smile and the vision of him chewing on the temple of his eyeglasses in times of thought. Jim will truly be missed!

Please be gentle with yourselves and each other as you walk through the days to come without your wonderful Jim there to touch you and hold you. Lean on friends and family to help you to live each day fully and with joy for the coming baby. Much love, Gail & Myk Behrens- McArdle (Women On Wheels)

Jeanette and Cori - My heart goes out to you. I have not seen Jim in years but know what a wonderful guy he was and how much he loved you and life. I had no idea of your loss until seeing a posting at Lockheed just moments ago. May love and support of others guide you through this extremely difficult time. Jeanie if there is anything I can do please don't hesitate to contact me. Thoughts, Prayers and Love Diana

Jeanette and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Jim was a delight to work with and know over the past 20 years at Datacard. Everytime I came to town, I would try to spend a couples hour with him talking about Harleys, diving and color printing. It just will not be the same. He will be missed by his friends and fellow workers.
Best Regards,
Terry LeDell

The Grimwoods would like to express their sorrow on the loss of Jim, and offer our prayers of support for Jeannette and Cori and the extended family. We knew Jim through Eagan soccer, having served on the Eagan Soccer Board with him for years, reffed with him, and gathered lots of soccer knowledge from him. Also just enjoyed his sense of humor and sense of fair play. He will be deeply missed.
Ross, Cathryn and family

Jeanette and Cori~ Jim will be missed by many. He was the first coach to put me in my place. He taught me so much both on and off the field. He had an amazing love and knowledge for the game and continued to coach and guide me as a soccer player even when he wasn't my coach. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

My heart was crushed when I heard the news. Jim was my soccer coach growing uup and I learned alot when I played for him. He was a wonderful man with a big heart. He will be missed but he has left a wonderful impression on many with his life. My prayers and thoughts are with Cori and Jeannette.
