I will never forget the Wednesday night talks at the diner, the late nights in the race car garage, and the weekend trips to Fonda Speedway. You would always call just to "check in and say hey." We are like brothers, Jim, and I will miss you and think of you often. Even though my heart aches, I know you are at peace. As you reunite with your mom and dad know that you have touched so many people's lives. Your mom and dad would be proud of all your accomplishments, I know we are. Goodbye...

I am so sorry to hear of your loss, my thoughts and prayers are with your family at this difficult time. We had some great times with Jim working on the Choices 301 car at Malta.

My heart goes out to you at this time and in the days ahead.

My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

I'm sure the Lord already has the gates to heaven open for you. The valley will not be the same with out you there,we will miss you, but always think of you !
