In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always. I grew up with Jim. He was a wonderful friend and I miss very much...

Jim was a great friend of mine in high school, college and many years later. We went through some interesting times together to say the least. He was so very "there for me" when my father died and I will always appreciate that. It was pleasure to hear the many reminders of his wit and intellect and to hear about his life and work after we had lost touch when I moved south. My best to his sisters, nieces and nephews. I know you will miss him and so will I.

I am sorry I cannot be there for Jim's viewing or funeral. I was priveleged to get to say my goodbye's last month. He was my only brother and he will be dearly missed. Today on what would have been his 60th birthday, I am so grateful he ws given the gift of his dear sisters taking such good care of him in his final days. What a blessing he had you to love on him. He treasured you all very much, and, just as everyone has written, was very close to his nieces and nephews and had such a...

Uncle Jim was a great man and I cherish deeply the memories we made with him. My sister and I will surely reminisce about all the great times we spent with him-- playing frisbee with him and the younger cousins or just sitting on Aunt Peggy's porch having nice conversations by the lake. Though we didn't see him as frequent as we hoped to, the times together meant very much to me. I miss you and love you, Uncle Jim.

Jim worked for our family for many years, he was well liked by all his co-workers, what I can say about Jim is that he was a kind gentle soul that always had something interesting to talk about, I can't think of one time in the years that I knew Jim that he didn't have at least one joke or riddle to tell me. He had a great love for his family, always talking about them in such a positive and loving way that you never got tired of hearing the stories. Jim will be dearly missed by all his...

I was very lucky to have worked with Jim at Art Craft for many years, Jim was a very special person, he was smart, kind & funny and very honest. He loved telling me about his nieces and nephews, his eyes would always light up and you could tell how much he loved his family. If more people tried to be the kind of person Jim was the world would be a much better place. He will be sadly missed by many. My prayers are with his family and friends.

I only wish I could have spent more time with Uncle Jim. He was a wonderful, thoughtful, unique individual, and I will always treasure my memories with him, including rocking out to the Beatles in the car two summers ago. A beautiful man, inside and out, and such a heart. I will miss you so much, Jimmy!

Oh what a special event to meet up with Jim last summer. Good hugs, good laughs, and crinkly smiles. Very special. Colleen, my heart is with you and your siblings.
