Not sure what to say?

I am very sorry to hear about Jim passing. I worked with him at the Post Office. He was a joy to be around and was always very positive. Always found the humor in things. I know he will be greatly missed.

Jim and I were good friends in the late 1960s and early 1970s. I remember how much Jim enjoyed listening to the Doors, a popular band from our era. He would always crank up the radio in his car with his favorite music. He loved Italian food and his mom's beautiful roses. He was always a gentleman and had a great sense of humor. I am saddened that he suffered from cancer.

I send my deepest condolences to his wife, his sons, and his brother Dave.

Sincerely, Jan Smith

I loved hearing about his many trips to vernal. He was a brilliant guy and a...

Susan, Jaben, Aaron and family. Our hearts are just breaking for you and your family. We love Jim. Kevin and I both fully enjoyed working with Jim in our church callings. We will miss his laugh, his humor, the wealth of knowledge he had on so many things especially gospel doctrine. We had some great conversations in and out of church. Kevin would come home after Jim taught Priesthood saying how much he always enjoyed Jim's lessons-really conversations about the gospel. He is a great man who...

So sorry to hear of jim's passing. Jim was always so funny and so smart. In fifth grade he knew everything about dinosaurs. He was a good artist and they put him in charge of drawing a mural for the school on dinosaurs. A very good guy.
