My dear "Dallas Corbetts,"

I am so very proud of my brother
and his wonderful family. Jim has
left a legacy that all of us should
try to continue to abide by. Bless
him and those that are fortunate to
be friends and family. We shall miss you, Jim.

Dear Corbetts,
My deepest sympathies to you all, as Uncle Jim was one of the most genuinely positive and emotional people in our family. I will miss his generous hugs and curiousity about my "dance to your own drummer" life!
Love, Annie Smith

Jeff,
Dads are such special people and I know yours was a wonderful man! He will certainly be missed, but what an amazing legacy he has left through his family ... children and grandchildren. I know he was always so very proud of you and all you did. My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours ...

LaVonne and family,
My deepest sympathy to each of you. Jim was one special guy in the DHS class of '54. We will miss you both at our reunions. God be with you all.

LaVonne, Chris, Karen and Jeff,

Jim meant so much to Suzanne and I that words just aren't enough to tell you how much we will miss him. We'll always remember him as a great guy who loved life and influenced everyone for the better. He will forever be in our prayers.

Jim was the Vince Lombardi of Athletic Sports Sales. There will never be another one like him. He will forever be missed.

LaVonne and family:

Jim had a way of offering encouragement and hope.
Now, in this earthly time of trial, may our Lord provide hope in Him.
May the Lord bless you and keep you, lift His countenance upon you, and give you peace.
May the Lord make His face to shine upon you, be gracious unto you, and give you peace.

Jim was not only only a very dear business associate, but a very close personal friend. He was a true gentleman whose honesty, character, and integrity is unmatched. While we will all miss Jim tremendousely, we know he is looking down on us inspiring us all through his memory.
