James M. "Jim Nelson" Falkinburg

So hard to believe that Jimmy has been gone 10 years. The stories will still be told, the memories still be shared, he'll never be forgotten. He will always be loved and remembered. It's my strongest prayer that he and Paulie are now laughing together. Love never dies.

Not a day goes by that we aren't reminded of Jim. "Just the neighbor" became family. We did so much together, dinners, Jim and Barbaras parties, even vacationing, and laughter. Oh my gosh, the laughter! So many little things remind us every single day of just how much you are loved and missed. We'll see you again dear friend.

Hard to believe that it's been so many years since we've seen your smile, experienced your crazy sense of humor and watched you roll your eyes at something Barbara said! You will always be an important part of our lives with so many fun memories and "Jimmy" stories! We know love never dies and we will see you again.

There are not enough kind words to say about Jimmy. From our very first meeting when he and Barbara moved in next door, we knew they were both very special people that became family. Jimmy's passing left a huge empty place in many hearts, thank God it can be filled with beautiful memories and the gift of knowing that love never dies.

Jim was my mentor which led to my career at Lucasfilm. I miss his quick wit and corny sense of humor.

Jim flew high while Little Slug Lucas slimmed by. Safe journey big guy.

Thanks Jim for getting me into the ILM model shop. I'll never forget this story,...brings a smile to my face. After STAR WARS, Jim went to work on THE CHINA SYNDROME, another successful film. The Three Mile Island nuclear accident occurred 3 days after the films' premiere. I remember commenting on the coincidence of that event happening so near the film's opening. He replied, with a twinkle in his eye..." It took me three days to figure out the correct wiring combination to make that...

You are forever etched in my memory my friend. Rest in peace.

It was an honor to know Jim and a special privilege to be called his friend. He was a kind & gentle man who truly made the world a better place. Jimmy will be missed.... he lived his life so well, was a role model and mentor so many of us. Heartfelt condolences & love to Barbara and the family.
