Not sure what to say?

My deepest sympathy Carol, Mark, Cristen and the rest of Jim's family at this time of sorrow. He is in God's care now and what better care could we ever ask for him? Now I pray for your comfort in the days ahead. God bless you and keep you in His tender care and love for all eternity.....love and miss you all

I am sorry to hear that more folks from Rochester did not leave a note. I am from Rochester and have not lived there since 1996, but I would like to say sorry to the family and friends of James.

My deepest sympathy to the family. I spent many good hours with Jim in the Norwich Bulletin newsroom...and always enjoyed his antics like racing up to Vermont with Ken Keely to buy a wood stove. Rest in peace and in God's love Jim.

I love you Jim and I miss you more than words can say.
Your wife and best friend, Carol

We miss you Jim! Your wit, humor and practical knowledge of almost anything made you a joy to work with. Knowing you enriched our lives. My deepest sympathy to the Docker family!

Carol - what a character he was. When I heard the news, my mind was full of Docker-isms. One of my favorites had to do with him being the "sherpa carrying the fatwa up the mountain."

He adored you, his kids/grands, his pets, and his life. He...

My prayers and thoughts are with you in your loss. I worked at the Norwich Bulletin when Jim was there many many years ago and he was always a good and caring person. Have a lot of good memories from the Bulletin, and he is one of them.

Jim was a class act! He gave me good counsel at all times. To carol and all the children my heartfelt sympathies . LOWELL WEICKER(old lyme ct.)
