May your days be brightened by your cherished memories of Jim.
I had the privilege of working with Jim at Public Works and Parks. He and I served together on the Safety Committee and the Accident Review Board. He was a very competent representative to both for the Streets and Sanitation Division. He took his job very seriously and was a credit to his co-workers. He will be missed!

Jim Elliot - What can I say (one remarkable person). It was with extreme sadness that I learned of Jim's death. I had the good fortune to spend a fair amount of time with Jim, and can attest that he was a very special person- full of humor and joy, and strong values. I am thankful for the time that he was in my life. My condolences and prayers are with all of those who's hearts he touched. Love Timothy Graves
