It has been 30 days since Jim entered the hospital for the last time. It is still hard to beleive he is gone already.

I cannot believe Jimmy is gone. I have known Jimmy since we were little kids as our parents (my mom, his dad) worked together. I remember going to the Colorado River camping with our families and all the employees and their families. I am sorry for your loss and please know time and God will heal all things. God Bless you.

Jim will be deeply missed at DOR. He was a friend to many. Deepest sympathy to his wife, Judy and their family.

I worked with Jim for many years. He was one of the kindest, caring, intelligent gentlemen ever. If he could not say something good about a person, he said nothing. He will truly be missed. I am a better person for having known Jim.
