Not sure what to say?

Still missing you.

I was just wishing a day or 2 ago that Jim was here to help me. He always knew exactly what I was asking for and made it happen.

Dear James, I think of you more often than you would ever believe. I miss your advice and beautiful creativity. I have yet to find another that has your talent. Denise Cruz, Cruz Brothers Locators

Dear Jim, You are truly missed and oh so appreciated. Working with several different Companies since you've been gone, has truly affirmed your talent and human kindness. I have not found one person that has 25% of the abilities and talents you possessed. I'm still looking and if you have a moment after a good chuckle at my struggle, please point me to someone. A sign! Yeah send me a sign! You were really good at signs!! LOL

About four years ago I had the pleasure of taking taijiquan from Jim at the Academy of Martial Arts. From my short three months that I had spent learning from him, I discovered a man of many talents, a great sense of humor, and to this day I feel blessed to have met him. I just happened to look at the AMA website tonight and saw his name/bio and thought I'd look him up and see how he was doing - what a shock to discover he passed away. My condolences to his family and friends, and may he rest...

Jim, was my friend...he put all my words together, even if it was a small letter. We would talk about our son's Taylor 25, & Patrice 24. What an amazing person. Jim, help me with some of our first graphics jobs with our then new bus. some 18 years ago Uncle Randawg's famous BBQ Sauce. RIP my friend. God Bless you and your family. I miss you always your friend Veronica Clifford. This is Jim's work and I am so proud of it again thank you my friend.

What a kind, sweet man. I was never an easy client, and yet he always was so patient, helpful, cheerful, and always spoke so well of me in my absence. Santa Cruz lost a much-loved citizen and business member. We both loved Garamond, and he could kern it exquisitely.

Jim, my friend... I am so sad to get this news. Dang it all! Taylor, if you see this please call me. Mona 831.336.1148
