Jim & Joanie were really instrumental in making Sacramento's 2nd Sat(2000 - 2010) Saturday Artwalk into the magical nights of art & music at 20th Street Gallery, where hundreds of thousands of people in Sacramento celebrated art and music over the years. The continued success of 2nd Saturdays is testament to your love, hard work, vision and dedication to Sacramento's art and music. God bless you Jim and Joanie. Scott West Scott West Band

Jim and I were great friends throughout our art school days at Sacramento City College.
We often painted together on day and weekend trips plein air. He was always my room
mate as his hearing loss complemented my snoring. I am sorry he is no longer with us
except in spirit.

Forever grateful to you Jim Ferry for all you have done for me and the countless other artists who's art journeys began with you.

Some of my youngest & fondest memories involve Jim and his family. I am truly grateful for him in so many ways. My mother and I send our deepest condolences.

Jim was a good friend and a great man. He had a wonderful sense of humor and was a very caring person. I regret to say we had lost contact over the years, but I will always consider him one of my closest friends. I will miss him.

Steve, I am so sorry for you and your family. Losing a parent is very hard and you never get over it, but you learn to live with it. You are in my prayers. My mom loved talking art classes from your dad.
