Not sure what to say?

Jim was an outstanding man--great in his field, and great in his pottery passions that he excelled in. We were fellow potters, and loved seeing he and Shawn at area art shows, sharing our passion for pottery with them. Jim will always be a special person to us.

It's been a decade and it still seems like yesterday. Miss you my friend and hope to reunite at some point in time. I am sure you are always watching over your family and friends. RIP Bob Lemmer

One very special friend. Not only was a good personal friend but also assisted us with our home sale, also worked with him at Behr Metals as a customer/client. Sandie and I miss him dearly. RIP

Karen & Family, I am so saddened to learn of Jim's passing. Jim was always the first to say yes to any request for donations for NFPs fund raisers - and with a smile. So gifted. A good man! I loved when he and Shawn would demonstrate their art as well. They helped educate and made people aware. I will sincerely miss the man he was - as well as will our community. Anyone who came into contact w Jim became an instant friend. In sorrow & with love to you and your family, May you RIP, Jim.

He was a very special person and will be missed by all of us in RAAR. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences
for you loss.
I have had the pleasure of working with Jim on many occasions and he will be greatly missed.

Karen, I was so shocked and so sorry to learn of Jim's passing. Whenever I would see Jim in the office he always had a big smile and friendly greeting. He will be missed by all that knew him. RIP Jim

To the family of Mr. Barbagallo.
I wanted to express my condolences to you all. I dealt with Jim at Anderson Dodge, he was ALWAYS kind and a pleasure to wait on. I also watched a pottery demonstration of his and was impressed and touched by his kindness to the little ones.
He was a fantastic man and will be missed.
Thinking of you all.

Dearest Karen,
My deepest sympathies to you and your family. Jim was generous to everyone he met with his time and his heart. He encouraged many to get involved and to give back; for that is how they would find passion in what they do. I am blessed to have known him. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
