James Caleb Bristow

Kathy I am so sorry about Jim, I did not know until your call. I hope that you are comforted by the joy he brought too so many children over the years, including mine. Each holiday he will be remembered as I have many years of photos that come out each season with him and my boys, he will have a place in our hearts for years to come. I know he will be missed and I know there are so many families that looked forward to their annual visit, he will be truly missed by all of us at Mt Shasta...

Kathy and Krystina, we are so sorry that we could not be there on Saturday, we really wanted to be there for the two of you but Dale's work commitments kept us away. Jim always held a special place in our hearts as do the 2 of you. We love you and will miss Jim more than you know. We pray that God surrounds you both in His comfort.

I was fortunate to know Jim in high school. He always had such a wonderful smile and great sense of humor. A few years ago I literally ran into him in the Mall when he was Santa! I didn't know it was him at the time, but later laughed, because it's such a small world! I will miss you Jim.

Kathy, our prayers for God's amazing comfort are with you and Krystina. I know many years have passed since we were all together during our college years, but we definitely have some wonderful memories of Jim. God bless,

Kathy, I am so sorry for your loss. I am sad to have only known you and Jim (Santa)since his stay at Norcal Rehab. We had fun kidding with Jim and listening to his jokes. He was a lucky man to have had you by his side, with your amazing strength to see him through.May god bless you and hel you find comfort at this time.

Kathy - I am so sorry to hear of Jim's passing! He was a good friend of mine from high school and college days. Please accept my love and know that Jim will hold a pleasant memory in my heart. Any time I have thought of him in the last 30+ years, I smile! He just kind of does that to people!

With our love,

Was so glad to have met Jim, although it was in his last weeks. I will always remember him now that I know he is the Santa in the Christmas pictures with my kids. And to Kathy, you were so strong for Jim's sake and he was lucky to have someone like you.

To Jim's family,
I didn't know Jim but I do know Francis through my friend Bill Whipple. I'm sure that Jim was just as honorable and as kind as his dad is. I am very sorry for your loss. May the love of friends give you comfort and the love of God give you peace of mind.
With deepest sympathy,

Jim's Family: Jim was well loved. Don and I will miss his humor and friendship. No more pain my friend.
