Wayne Wells, Bullseye

Jim and family, our sincerest condolences for your loss.

Dear Jim and Gemma
Please accept my heartfelt condolences. As many others have expressed, I am blessed with many good memories of our times together sharing the wonders and waves of Panama. Jim also introduced me to your great family and to your friend Cos. I am forever thankful for all of your's and Jim's friendship and support.

Jim, Out Front, Rio Mar, August 1973

To the O'Donnell family, please accept my deepest condolences. I feel like I've lost a brother. Jim and I had many, many wonderful experiences growing up in the Zone together. So many surfing trips, just he and I, alone at the beach. A wonderful friend, a big heart, I'll always remember his special smile and laugh. So sorry.

I am very sorry for your loss. I trained with Jim at Southeastern Guide Dogs about fifteen years ago, and will always remember his unique perspective and insight on dog training. I learned a lot from him. And still have a photo of us with some German Shepherds that we worked with in an album somewhere. But I will never forget him. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Jim O and I trained guide dogs and their blind recipients for many years at Southeastern Guide Dogs in Palmetto, Fl. I enjoyed his friendship and as well he became a skillful fellow employee. He was a hard worker and loved his dogs immensely.

Dear Jim & Gemma, Pauline & I offer our sincere condolences on the loss of your son. May the Lord bless and keep you in these trying times!

Sorry to hear of Jim's passing. Don't know when I 1st met him. He was one of those person that you just grow up with and seem always to be here and there. Always enjoyed our times together. Condolences to the O'Donnell's in their time of loss.
