Not sure what to say?

Thank you for your friendship and wisdom. You will be missed but not forgotten. My prayers are for you and your family.

Millie and Family,
I know that Mom and Dad (Courtney and Betty Jo) regret that they were not able to be at the services for J.H.

Richard and I well remember a visit we had with J.H. in Friendswood -- taking a boatride on Chocolate Bayou in his gorgeous cabin cruiser. Danny, it was so good to see you, too, after so many years.

Our prayers are with all your family.

I will always treasure the wonderful letters that J.H. sent to me this summer and the old photos of him and his jets. What an amazing cousin...what an amazing person! We will miss him until we meet again.

It was my pleasure to have meet such a great gentlemen. I will never forget that night he visited me when I was hospitalized. It showed how great he cared for others.

You were a gentleman and a heck of a pilot. I enjoyed my times flying with you and learning from you. We have lost a great one.
Fair winds and blue skies, my friend.

I'll miss you Bruce. We were good friends as well as co-workeks in SAIL. So I know God has a good man. My prayers are with his family. God Bless....

bruce,thanks for being my friend.all the books we share and the history you left,priceless,my ''muy amigo''semper fi....juan gallegos jr.

Viewing Jims biography I was struck by the fact that we might have crossed paths without knowing it, while in Okinawa (Kadena) and Japan (Itazuki).. 62/63.. At the time I was working on the F105 as a tech rep.. in all likelihood we did meet but did not make the connection when we both worked at SAIL. It would have been wonderful had we made the connection.. and could reminisce over past years were we shared a common interest.

James your a good man and it is sad that you are gone.

Enjoyed working with Bruce. Chatting with him about World War 11 and the incidents he had in different countries he visited. God bless his soul.
