Jim Nelson was one of my heroes. He was brilliant, compassionate, humble, curious minded, and inspirational as a person and teacher. Sharing experiences and numerous exchanges with him during our years at the U of M Medical School Program in Human Sexuality always left me feeling profoundly illuminated and inspired. Blessings to the entire family. Wilys and Jim were exceptional people who I feel privileged to have known.

I wish I could make it to Tucson for Jim's service but I am picking up my sister from the airport at that time. I knew Jim for only a short time but we shared our grief together and he was such a kind man. I am so honored to have known such a brilliant man. Peace to the family.
