Not sure what to say?

Miss you my friend, travel companion and more. Still hard to believe you are gone.

The world is not the same without Jimmy, my pal from EGR High School through the end of his time with us. Jimmy was the smart guy and I could always call him and find out how he thought about the issues of the day. Perhaps it is selfish, but I miss his opinions on a wide range of subjects. I am thankful to have known Jimmy and was certainly blessed by his unwavering friendship.

I am so shocked to learn today of his death. I traveled a lot with Jim in the past. We went to Washington DC, Arlington, down the coast to do pictures and shadowing of family tomb stones. I am so sad I didn't know.

My Condolences to his Son and family. Wondered why I hadnt heard from Jim. INever expected to read he passed away. We were Friends for many years , was my Ex- Brother -in -Law. He was very caring and kind and laughed a lot with us. He was Very worried about me and supportive when I lost my husband , (his best friend) 3 years ago. My Family & I will miss him very much.

I'm so thankful that Jim's son informed me of his dad's passing. I enjoyed my short time knowing Jim. I'll miss our emails regarding his Arkansas Hogs and my Wisconsin Badger's. Jim didn't cheer on any specific NFL team, but he would tolerate my cheering for the Green Bay Packers. My heart aches along side all his family and friends.

What a shock when I got on facebook to wish Jim a good Veterans Day, and thank him for his service. I saw him last when we went for lunch just a couple of months ago. Rest in peace Jim.
