Not sure what to say?

Jerilyn & girls - So sorry to hear of your recent loss of your husband and father, Jim. My heart hurts for all of you and your families. I so remember my wonderful visits to Brentwood, TN and Detroit MI. Over the years have thought of you all often. May you all find peace in the wonderful memories you have. Love and prayers to all.

The World has lost a true gentleman.
I have fond memories of working with and for James in Germany and China. I admired his intellect and professionalism. My sincere condolences.

We’ll fondly remember our camping days at Lillydale Campground at Dale Hollow Lake when the kids were small and easily entertained.

We are so very saddened to hear of Jim’s passing. May your heart soon be filled with the wonderful memories of Jim as a husband and father.

A great business mind and confidant to me.
GM never knew how valuable he was.
Prayers to his family.

Jerilyn and family, sending my sincere condolences to all of you. I pray mother Mary will wrap her mantle of love and protection around you at this difficult time time.

We loved getting to know you in Tennessee and are so sorry to hear of Jim’s passing.
May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Jerilyn, Allyssa and Lauren,
So very sorry to hear of Jim’s passing I will never forget his great (and your) overwhelming kindness to our family in China. As well I will always respect him as a supreme leader at GM. You are all in our prayers.
Mike and Sondra Raubacher

Jim left this world way too soon. I knew him as a very intelligent and friendly person. I feel bad that he only had five years of retirement. He was certainly a key player in developing Saturn as well as helping GM become more competitive.
