James William Gerrish

I met Jim over twenty years ago as I bicycled past their home with the Porsche 912 parked in the driveway. Jim was very generous in helping me get my Porsche 912 project car of the same year running. We deer hunted once in Vernonia, and I remember Jim being intrigued by a huge tree that a beaver had fallen. I learned from Jim that it was his mother who put on the boomerang events that made the local news and that that my brother, his friends, and myself participated in. Jim was generous again...

Jimmy, you will so be missed. Heart filled hugs to the Gerrish clan.
Thinking of Jimmy brings a smile on my face and little cheeky giggle in my belly.

Debby, Katharine, Stu and Family,
We all miss Jimmy's laughter and wonderful sense of fun. We also remember how interesting a person he was. We miss him on so many levels. He was a wonderful, warm guy everyone liked. Love and big hugs,
Leslie and Bruce

I am so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. He was a wonderful neighbor and will be greatly missed.

Debby, Kat, Stu & Family,
Jimmy instilled the King of Fun in all of all of us. We can still see him heading down to the golf course or out walking the dog with you. A good man who is already missed. Our hearts are with you.

Debbie, Kat, Stu;
I have never known anyone who had as much fun as Jimmy. He turned everything into fun. May your memories of the wonderful times you spent together help to ease the pain in your heart. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

My heart aches knowing that Jim has left us. Take comfort In the wonderful memories he has left behind. The world and so many lives are better for the time Jim shared with us. May he rest in peace.

Debby:
I am so sorry for your loss. I really enjoyed my time with Jim even though we were not together a lot-fun times in Neskowin and on the golf course. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Everyone in our family loved Jim. He was one of the few people in the world who met someone and accepted them as to where/who they were, and I never heard him judge anyone. He also really loved to sit at family parties (or other places, too) and chat with the older people; and it wasn't just to be nice, it was because he was truly interested in them. I've always said that if I were stuck on a deserted island, if Jim were there I knew he'd keep me safe!! We will all miss him - and it is still...
