Still loving and missing you dad

Hi Dad, I am so sorry I haven't written in here earlier But Every time I try I can never see the keys through My tears! I miss You Soo much dad!! I still need you here!! I've got nobody left to talk to anymore! I never really said Thank you for teaching me all the things that you taught me! Not a day went by that I didn't learn something from you! And I miss that so much!
Sundays Aren't the same anymore! The only thing I ever looked forward to is not here anymore! This is the one...

I LOVE YOU DAD.... I still just sit here sometimes looking at all of our pictures and then I come here and look at that picture posted and just sit. I miss you and always will love you so much. I hope and pray that I am half the man you were, and I hope I am as good a father to my little girl as you were to me.

Just a note to let Jim know that I think of him every day! I know he at least in a place free from the pain and misery associated with his illness.
I thank Jennith openly and to the almighty for her support of Jim. I know she has had a difficult time, coping with Jim's loss and her personal lonliness.
I know that Jim would want only the best for her, as do we all.
I miss you, and I love you, bro......

When Jim & Jennith visited us last October, they had recently returned from their European odyssey, and it was great hearing about the places they saw, many of which were from afar, or from a cab, or bus window, as Jim was unable to stand in lines or travel any distances of consequence.
Yet you could sense the exhilaration he experienced at each sighting, and the joy of seeing these fascinating and historical places with Jennith at his side....
He even talked about paying a cover charge...

Dearest Jennith
We were so sad and devastated to hear about Jim.
He was so vividly alive and larger than life - all contained in a big, reassuringly solid "good ole boy" in the very best sense of the word . His enveloping bear hugs were just a treat. You absolutely knew that he would be there for you, with all cylinders firing, if you needed him. Alan and I will so miss his incredibly dry and laconic sense of humour - his deep gravelly voice with the Texas twang and his great...

With the passing of my brother, I find comfort in reviewing this guest book and seeing the many friends, business associates, family, co-workers, and many senior executives with whom he worked.
His career spanned General Electric Apparatus Service, MCA - Discovision, Pioneer Video, and CinRan.
From a winder with GE in Phoenix, Arizona, Jim literally traveled the globe in his business dealings.
As a person, he touched many lives, and based on the signings in this book, he was...

I felt the deepest sorrow to hear that Jim Lance have passed away.
I have worked with him at Pioneer Video Manufacturing at Carson LA from 1984 to 1993. It was my best time in my life. I have a lot of memory with him.
Please accept my sincere sympathy.

We were very fortunate to have had Jim as part of our Cinram family for nearly a decade. During that time, we go to know him as a strong and dedicated lieutenant who was honest, driven and hard-working. He was an exceptional teacher, manager and mentor that looked out for his people – simply put; he was a fine human being. Jennith, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during these difficult times. On behalf of the Cinram family, please accept our deepest condolences for your...
