Jim could always make me smile. He and I became friends in 1975; he never failed me in any way. This man had honesty, integrity, and an amazing work ethic. He will be greatly missed by millions who were touched by the sound of his voice. My deepest sympathy to all of those people who were connected to Jim's heart-strings...

the supervisor of a local coffee service here in Gainesville, I recieved a request to call on WDVH located on Kincaid Road~since all streets had been changed to the numerical system, I had no idea where they were and had to ask an old-time resident~~the first one that I met there at WDVH was Jim~that was back in 1974~~I'll miss him~~I'll miss his smile, I'l miss those laughing eyes~~

Jim will def. be missed! I am pretty sure the first thing I ever sold, a clarinet, was on the air with Jim. Prayers for Sally, his family and friends.
