Not sure what to say?

Kathy, I'm so sorry for your loss. Robs family has known Jim forever due to the PFD but we also have know each other forever. I was pleasantly surprised when I realized you were a couple those many years ago. My heart goes out to you❤❤

So very sad to hear of Jim's passing while on his annual trip ! I was a frequent passerby who befriended Jim in the halls of the RMV during his many years guiding new drivers through the process. Surely, I will miss seeing him from time to time. RIP, Friend ... gone to soon !

Jim has always been apart of my family since I was born. My father Bruce Damms and Jim were best friends since childhood. Every time I saw Jim he would ALWAYS remind me of when my sister and I were little we gave his motorcycle a mud bath while he was inside talking to my dad. He had such a loving and funny personality. RIP Jim you will be truly missed. I know my dad and Jim are in heaven riding bikes together once again.

My heart goes out to all those near and dear to Jimmie. I miss him already. I was so looking forward to his annual visit this month. We had so many great times together on the bikes. He was always there for you when you needed him. I still find it hard to believe that he is gone. It's like a part of me is missing. Through the years ,he always talked about Kathy, Shannon and Tiger with such love and admiration. I am so sorry for your loss.

Miss you already, Jimmie. So many great times we had together on the bikes.

Sending lots of love , hugs and prayers to the family. Shannon your dad was amazing. I am so glad I was able to meet him. He will be missed.

What a wonderful man. I remember chattling with Jim while he waited for his students and I waited for my grandson to get out of school. I'm sure he will be missed by many people. Rest In Peace Jim


Shannon, I am so very sorry on the passing of your Dad. My heart feels for you.

The Palmer family would like to pass on our most sincere condolences. Mr. Haggerty was such a wonderful and delightful man (always full of jokes). As a daughter of Larry Palmer of Palmer's Variety Store, I grew up with Jim. Both my sister and I had him for driving school. My personal favorite memory of him was when he would yell at me "you just ran over the baby!" when I was attempting to parallel park. He would always refer to Tiger and his "special lady friend", and I wish both of you, as...
