Not sure what to say?

We are very sorry for the loss of Jim. We met him a few years back and he was a wonderful man! Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Jim was a great news anchor and broadcaster,when honor and honest meant something.
Watched Jim for many years,while growing up and going to school.
Jim will be greatly missed.

Sorry to hear of Jim's passing. I remember this good man from a family reunion many years a go. Jim's wife Elinor was my father, Gerry Runyan's first cousin. I remember, even at a young age how impressed I was with Jim's great personality and easy to talk to style. God speed Jim. Sincerely, Jim Runyan, Danville, Pa.

To Jim's Family,
I was so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. I worked with him at PSP in the 70's and will always remember what a wonderful, helpful and friendly person he was.
My prayers are with you at this difficult time.

To the Family and Friends of Jim,

Please accept my sincere sympathy and condolences on the passing of a wonderful man. I had the privilege of knowing Jim when I worked for the PSP in the 70's and 80's, and have always had such a high opinion of him. He showed everyone the same kindness, no matter at what level you worked, and always had that pleasant smile on his face. Rest in Peace, Jim...you will be missed but never forgotten.
