Not sure what to say?

To the Jordan family. My heart goes out to you in this sad time. My dad, Milt, had told me many stories of his dives and how much he loved it. Out of all the stories, I would hear Jim's name time and time again and how much fun they had together and how much their friendship was treasured. I just wanted to say that although I didn't know Jim personally, I know he was a great person, husband, father and friend. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Jim was such a fantastic person and excellent referee. We worked many games together during my first years as a referee, and I always looked forward to assignments with him as a part of my crew. His arrival atop the silver Harley was a great event to witness!

The news has hit me hard; what a tragic accident doing what he loved.

I wanted so badly to attend the funeral yesterday, but the trip from Chicago was not possible last minute.

My prayers are with his...

Jeanie, Cori and family:
I was very fortunate to work closely with Jim at Datacard for 10 years. He often spoke of his family, motorcycles and diving. He taught me to create fun regardless of the circumstance. I will miss his open heart, rolling laugh, big smile and the vision of him chewing on the temple of his eyeglasses in times of thought. Jim will truly be missed!

Jeanette & Cori, Our hearts are full of love for you, Matthew and baby. Please be gentle with yourselves and each other as you walk through the days to come without your wonderful Jim there to touch you and hold you. Lean on friends and family to help you to live each day fully and with joy for the coming baby. Much love, Gail & Myk Behrens- McArdle (Women On Wheels)

Jeanette and Cori - My heart goes out to you. I have not seen Jim in years but know what a wonderful guy he was and how much he loved you and life. I had no idea of your loss until seeing a posting at Lockheed just moments ago. May love and support of others guide you through this extremely difficult time. Jeanie if there is anything I can do please don't hesitate to contact me. Thoughts, Prayers and Love Diana

Jeanette and Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. Jim was a delight to work with and know over the past 20 years at Datacard. Everytime I came to town, I would try to spend a couples hour with him talking about Harleys, diving and color printing. It just will not be the same. He will be missed by his friends and fellow workers.
Best Regards,
Terry LeDell

The Grimwoods would like to express their sorrow on the loss of Jim, and offer our prayers of support for Jeannette and Cori and the extended family. We knew Jim through Eagan soccer, having served on the Eagan Soccer Board with him for years, reffed with him, and gathered lots of soccer knowledge from him. Also just enjoyed his sense of humor and sense of fair play. He will be deeply missed.
Ross, Cathryn and family

I knew Jim through soccer, but it was always obvious that he was so much more than just a great referee. God bless you through this difficult time of loss.

Jeanette & Family: I have had the pleasure of working with Jim on a recent project at Datacard. What a fun and intelligent man. I sadly miss him.
With deepest sympathy to you and your family.
