Not sure what to say?

Jim and his dad were among the first people I met when I came to El Dorado. I will remember him fondly..."Happy Trails to you!" Gail Harkins

Paula and Family; I don't have to tell any of you what a wonderful man Jim is....what Grandpa hasn't taught me Jim helped out - good or bad!!! I will never forget him coming into the Haverhill Cafe with the rest of the gang when I was working there to finish up the last of the pie for the day...muddy boots and all; I enjoyed all the lessons they taught. Scott - Shane you were just little guys and Jim was so proud.... Jim was the only one that was or will ever be allowed to call me "Charlie"...

Wish we could be there, we will be thinking of you. We had many wonderful times together, and have always admired Jim and you. We will remember him as a very special character in our lives.

One of the finest cowboys I every had the pleasure of meeting, and working with. GodSpeed, Jim; the pastures are green and always growing in Heaven.

Thinking of all of you, and God Bless. Dad has shared with me several times that Jim told him years ago when they started making big bales, "if you feed big bales you can keep the herd no matter how old you get". Seems like he might have been right. Jim was well of thought of by many. God Bless Rosa and Norris

My thoughts and prayers are with the family in this time of sorrow, God Speed Jim.
