Not sure what to say?

I will miss you always, Ricky. Lucy

Wow- Jim and I went to Wilson together but we also worked together at the "Marvelous Market" on Connecticut Ave in D.C. he was such a kind, sweet guy- always made everyone feel at ease. I´m so very sorry to hear of his passing. He always made my day better.

We had so many inside jokes. But it was all positive stuff. Jim hated it when someone would try to cloudy his otherwise sunny day. I miss him very much.

I'm so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. I worked with Jim at Congressional Delivery where we often hung out after a day of Jim telling me where to go. We shared many a pitchers at The Big Hunt in Dupont Circle or Stoney's for a burger on a Thursday night. I loved hearing his stories about his days at Wilson where he attended school amongst D.C. Rockstar's or the shows he enjoyed as a teen in D.C. The last time I saw Jim was when he came to Seattle for a few days when I was living there. He...

I remember one of the times I visited Jim in LA, I went on a hop on hop off bus tour during the day, where the tour guide interviewed me and posted it for the world to see. He said, "you´ve been in town for 15 minutes and already on TV." He had such a great sense of humor. Really miss that guy.

In 1981 James painted a watercolour view of Lough Corrib in Eire. I don't know the reason for it - he knew and loved the place, fished there or whatever - but it is very close to my heart and a treasured and beautiful piece of work. My father fished the Corrib for most of his life and took me over there for holidays from a young age. He retired there and in due course I married there (at the church in Glann if you know it). I was sorry to read of James' passing. Please accept my sympathies....

My condolences to the family. May God give you all strength and comfort during the sad time. Damaris Bonilla Class of 81.

My heart goes out to all of Jim´s family and friends. I remember him ever fondly from his junior high and high school days, when he was in school with my sister Hannah and I would come in the summer to visit. A gentle soul, who always helped me feel welcome during some pretty tumultuous times. And was a dear dear friend to my sister. May you rest in peace, Jim.
