I have so many fond memories of making music together at Cherrydale Methodist church in Arlington. So sorry for your loss. Carol Gilmore

As my dearest friend for over 75 years, Jim was always with me, no matter how far away or how often we saw each other. I carry wonderful life-time memories that never fail to make me smile or feel that warm sense of brotherly love.How fortunate for me to have had Jim in my life

Rest in peace and rise in glory, Jim. What a blessing it has been to know you and your family through the decades, and to sing together in the best male chorus ever, The United States Army Chorus. Our deepest sympathy to Lisa, Rusty, Christopher, Jonathan, JoRita, and all Jim´s relatives and friends.

Remembering the times Jim and Grace, Roger and Doris along with Bob and myself would descend on Lois Hood for several days- always memorable! Wonderful memories of a dear friend. Betty Goodman
