Thank you all for your special comments and stories. It's wonderful to see so many people remembering him, loving him and missing him like we do. All the best.

Thanks to everyone that entered these kind words about my Dad. We will all miss him. Sincerely, James Gary Blankenship

I worked with Jim at Seagull and he was always such a joy to talk to and be with. What a generous man who will long be remembered by many ex-Seagull employees. My deepest sympathies to the entire Blankenship family.

Peggy and Family,
I am sorry to hear of Jim's passing. It was a great experience working with him at both Mesa and Seagull. Our prayers are with you.

Dear Peggy and Family,
I was privileged to work for Jim at YCL Resources, and for the time he was at Sohio. He brought so much life to the business world - and imparted so much knowledge to all. His sense of humor lives on - I cannot eat at a restaurant and hear "Enjoy Your Meal", without hearing Jim say "No, I think I'll eat here instead". He leaves a very large empty place at the table. It was a privilege to have known him

Peggy and Family,
I am so sorry to hear about Jim's passing. He was a wonderful person and I enjoyed working for him at Seagull. My prayers are with you.

Jim. My sympathy goes out to you and your family. May the Lord keep you and your family close to him. You remember when I lost my dad. Let me know if there is anything I can do.

Peggy, Jim, Leanne and Shannon,
Think only of the good times - there were so many over such a long period. Jim's passing seems like the end of an era to me.
I am praying for all of you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time.
