Peggy, please extend our condolences to your family, especially Matt. Jim & Don grew up together in Butler. He was to be our best man but landed up in the hospital with bleeding ulcers the Tuesday before the wedding. He and his family took care of me while Don was in Viet Nam. Lost touch with him after his father passed. We are truly sadden by this news and hope that God touches each of your hearts and helps you through your time of grief.

Dear Peggy, Bruce, and Brenda,

When Bill Gallina called and told me of Jim's death, I thought immediately of our closeness as kids. Jim taught me to play pool, and that is why I still shoot left-handed. Since I never had a brother, Bruce and Jim were the closest people to that role. I am so sorry.

Peggy, Matt, and family, you have my deepest sympathy and prayers as I learn of Jim's passing. But just thinking of Jim brings me a smile. I'll always remember his dry sense of humor, his hunting stories, his military service, business trips we took to North Carolina, Florida, and Puerto Rico, and his perspectives on our daily business events. Most of all, I remember “love at first sight” from the second I introduced him to Peggy. May your happy memories soon triumph over the pain of your loss.

June 28, 2012

I met Jim a few years back through Cessna. We became friends that shared many of the same values, and of course, a love and respect of the outdoors.

He has touched my life, as I am sure he has of many,and I will miss him.

My thoughts and prayers are with the Fullerton family.
