James Ford

10 years! I still have the strawberry plants and begonia that you gave me. Good memories of you come to mind every time I look at them.

My gosh the seven years since Jamie's passing has flown by so fast, yet there is rarely a day that goes by where I don't think of him and miss him.

Jamie was a very special person and caring advocate for those with HIV. I loved seeing the work he continued to do for the community, even after I left the AIDS program myself. San Luis Obispo was a better place for him living here. Jamie, you will be missed.

Jaime, Jaime, Jaime! Tho' you have transitioned, you will forever be here as your work on earth has left an impression on countless levels and countless people. Thank you for your selfless generosity, wit and teaching moments. May your family (and all of us) call on happy memories to lighten the not-so-bright days...knowing your Spirit lives on in the hearts of all whose lives you touched. It's been an honor :-)

Mi amigo, I miss you already you always be in my heart.

Some people mean more to us than they could ever know. You believed in me when I had little strength and talked me into my first public speaking appearance (for ASN, of course). I remember you when you were so happy and then through times of sadness. So many times you would just 'be there' and we would stop and take time together. You have been, and always will be remembered as, a man of courage, a model of humanity, and always to me, a light in so many hearts. Thank you for being! I take...

I worked with Jamie for many years at SLO Public Health and was honored to call him a friend. He will be forever remembered for the many qualities that allowed him to serve our community with dignity and respect. Rest now Jamie, your work on earth is done but I doubt you'll rest in heavan....God has plans for you....Bert

Working (volunteering) with you and Phil to take ASN to its next level was an amazing and rewarding experience. May your energy continue soaring across the universe.

Memories of cross country skiing in Yosemite, cooking Chinese,enjoying friends. Rest in Peace Jamie
