Dr. James Elmer Hartfield Jr.

Jim will be missed, but not forgotten. Much love, Tracer

Gene - Jim's influence goes so far past his physical presence. It was my honor to have met him at our conferences - although brief, I knew he was special. My condolences to you and your family.

Gene. Jim was such a kind and gentle soul. He will be sadly missed.

Our deepest sympathy for the loss of Jim. We served together on the board of Tampa Aids Network and I developed a great respect for his kindness and caring. Our community is a emptier place without him.

I was saddened to hear of

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived. It was such sound hearing Jim sing in the choir on Sunday mornings. He was such a pleasant and kind man. We want you to know your family is in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless you all.

I am sad for the loss of this wonderful man, but I am thankful that I had the chance to meet and work with Jim. Very professional, warm and fun loving. Adored his "puppies" and had a "green thumb" for the beautiful orchids. Although it has been a few years since I have seen Jim, I have thought of him often. You will be missed by many Jim. My prayers to your family.

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
