I knew your sisters Norma and Nancy when we lived in the same neighborhood Suzanne Glynn on FB... Sue Skarra... back in the day

I love Jim so much! I consider him to be family - I have known him since I was born, and he was a wonderful best friend to my father, Oscar. They traveled together to Peru often, worked together - he built a table I still own. I love him. He will be absolutely missed. I cannot wait for him to come back as a - whatever he decides. I LOVE YOU JIM!

I worked with Jim at the airport for United Airlines from 1967 till 1980. My wife and I had many good times with Jim when he lived on NE 24th. Going to Central and he going to Jesuit resulted in some competitive discussions. He has been in my thoughts many times since I transfered to Denver in 1980. I'm sorry for your loss.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. I will remember your kindness.

Jim, was a lifelong friend of my brother Michael! When my brother arrived home from Vietnam, he told me that of all his friends, Jim wrote letters to Mike regularly, during his 14 month tour of duty . This meant so much to my brother. Jim and Mike met in grade school, attended Jesuit together and were friends until my brother's death in 2008. Jim was a good man!

Worked with Jim and he was always a pleasant person. We talked about fishing a lot and I sure regret not having joined him on the Sandy River. Condolences to the family. Terry Hart

One of the best neighbors we have ever had. We all loved Jims fishing hole for steelhead & provided him fish for dinner. We have all relocated to Central Point and all remember Jim & his many dogs (since Buddy). A special thanks to his friends & families whom we have met at Jims.

So sorry to hear. I grew up fishing a d hanging out with Jim. He was a great man and always wanted to help if you needed him. RIP old friend
