Not sure what to say?

I was an RM2 (Radioman 2nd Class) stationed at Cam Ranh Bay, RVN, from 6/69 to 6/70. I knew him as Ensign Ensign as he was the OIC (Officer in Charge) of the communications center, Alpha Section. He was a nice guy and was well respected by the men who were under his watch.//

I remember Jim as a dearly loved brother to Nancy and Linda, and an admired fellow student at U High. My love and thoughts are with Linda in this tough time.

Remembering all the help you tried to give Doug and all the support you gave me. RIP my friend.

We shared a heritage of Illinois State Normal University parents. I believe he was around the same year at UHS as my brother George 'Butch' Barford and Tom Barger Jr. I never heard Jim say an unkind word about someone. Kind indeed.

Jim was a friend and we both volunteered with the same organization in Bloomington and McLean County Illinois. I will miss him.

I met Ensign family in 1971 when my husband, daughters and I moved from NY´s Long Island to Normal. It was a few years later I met Jim. A kind friend and a most kind, and caring attorney. My condolences to his family. RIP Jim

Jim was a kind, empathetic, and intelligent asset to his family and the Bloomington-Normal community.
