Not sure what to say?

Jim was a very special man. He was much loved and respected. Jim will be missed. Prayers to his children family and friends. Joy Covington-O'Nale

While working at ESPN I interacted with Jim on a regular basis. He was a true gentleman and the kindest executive I have ever met. He spoke to everyone and knew everyones name. Jim was a genuinely good human being. My condolences to his wife and children who he spoke of often and so lovingly.

Remembering the trips to Costco and Total WIne, followed by lunch. Those were good times. As well as the dinners with Jim and Les. Gentleman Jim will never be forgotten. Semper Fi

Dear Allegro family, I had the privilege of working at ESPN and near Jim for many years (in the executive area). He was definitely a favorite person during my experience there and a true class act and gentleman. I just liked him as a person and I truly admired him. I am sorry for your loss, and he will always be remembered! With sincere sympathy - Shelley Jones-
