My mother shares Jim's birthday. As you know, we recently lost our grandmother on this day as well. I still wanted you to know our thoughts were with your family on this special day.

Mickey, Kelly, Ashley and family,

I am very sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. Some of my fondest childhood memories are of listening to his baseball stories. He always had time to give us a tip (about baseball or life), which I wish I had heeded more often. After all this time, he has remained one of my favorite people.

Lynne-

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of this great gentleman, Jim. I well remember his friendship and kindness to me years ago when he was involved with the Savannah Cardinals.

Jim was such a friendly man, who was so approachable and genuine. He was a remarkable person and a "man's man". My sons and I will always remember what a fine gentleman that Jim Bayens was.

We shall miss him greatly. May God have His grace on Lynne as she passes through this...

Lynne,

Dear Lynne
Of all the men I've known in professional baseball, and I've known quite a few, Jim was the best. I was so saddened to hear of his passing and pray that God will give you the strength you need to deal with your loss.

Lynne & Family,
We will miss seeing Jim come into the restuarant with his grandchildren. It was obvious to all who knew him that he loved being with his family & grandchildren. Our thoughts & prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Lynne, thanks for all the memories with you and Jim! He was so special to all who knew him!Thank you for being so special to my family. May God bless and comfort you!

Lyne,
My heart is heavy with the news of Jim's passing. I am so sorry for your loss. You and yours are in my thoughts and prayers.
