Jim was a great friend and a true gentleman. He is missed even today.

Dear Phyllis, Martha and Jeffrey,
I have the fondest memories of Jim and his love for his family will touch you forever...His work with the Lord is beginning. I am praying for you.

Dear Phyllis and Family,
Our deepest sympathy on your loss. Jim was a fine man and a very loyal shipmate. He was always the picture of patience and understanding. Over three tours, I was always glad that Jim was there.

Jim, you will be missed. God Bless

Phyllis, We are so sorry and stunned by this sudden passing. I know Jim is in a better place but his absence will certainly be missed. Phyllis and I will see you on Friday
