Jim and his beautiful voice were such a gift to so many people. He sang at my wedding and also at a number of funerals in the Murray family. My family was fortunate to know Jim and Jack Bogue through the wonderful SFFD "family". Godspeed to a very special and gifted man.

My first day out of the SFFD fire college, I was assigned to TK 6 on the A watch. Jim was on my first watch and I learned much from him and our LT. Ovid Seyler. Loved doing house work at Station 6 because Jim was always singing and his songs resonated throughout the firehouse. A great guy to work with and I am proud to say I worked with his Dad John (E-17) and Capt, Jack at Tk 3. Love our memories with Jim.

After leaving Fire Dispatch, I was assigned to Engine 6. Jim was on Truck 6. A true gentleman, always had a nice thing to say with a smile on his face. Heard him sing at events and was amazed how heart felt his singing was.

Jim was an important cog in many generations of Bogue. He has a wide reaching legacy. The "Singing Fireman" sang at my grandmother's funeral (Catherine Albrecht) in 1979 at St. John's Church. I can still hear his angelic voice and remember how his singing helped me heal. May he rest in peace and now lead the heavenly choir.
Condolences to his entire family.
