Not sure what to say?

Remember James distinctly in our EYC group here at St Mark's Episcopal Church in Wichita. His dad was our sponsor. He is greatly missed.

Susan and I were just reminiscing about Jim Frisby yesterday. Nice to see his smiling face today.

My sorrow of losing you is tempered only by my believe that again you are enjoying strength of breathe and body surrounding your amazing soul. Thank you for all we shared. My sympathy to all who loved you. Thanks for being another angel looking over us. One Red Hen.

Our sympathy. Our family met Jim at Sister Kenny during the time that he was there after his accident. Our son Jeff was there at the same time recovering also from a spinal cord injury. Jim was a great inspiration with his sense of humor and determination. My husbands cousin Jerry Burelle called us to lest us know that Jim had passed. God Bless you all in this time of great sadness.
Nancy & Charlie Eichholz, and our son Jeff Rosati

Dear Frisby family, we knew Jim for many years on the river.Even with all he had been through,he was always upbeat and had his great sense of humor. We all will miss him.Mark and Cheryl Clausen (Newport)

Jim had a wonderful sense of humor and FUN! His bright smile and kind heart will always be remembered

I met Jim as a young adult some 30 years ago and really enjoyed my time with him. The time he came to the club I DJ'd at and grabbed the mic and just wailed on the harmonica! Such a wonderful memory....
A good man!
You will be missed by all.

What else can I say but thanks for the memories. Jim was an icon of free spirit and adventure; a great friend. Always with a smile and jovial nature. He held a special place in the hearts of many and will be remembered dearly.

So long Friz Lee.
