I knew Jim as a business colleague and client. He was always a pleasure to be with but above all, great fun. He had a wonderful spirit, sense of humour and very special way about him, always positive about life. It is a testament to the person he was that his friendships extended across an ocean. We were deeply saddened to learn of his death and send heartfelt condolences to his family.

Jimmy and I went to WIU together. Jimmy was and is such a dear friend. We lived on the same floor at Henninger together. I just found out about his passing and cannot believe We did not keep in touch over the years. Jimmy was a wonderful friend and a man that you could always count on. I am grieved to learn of his passing. May God keep His hand on Jimmy FAMILY, NOW AND FOREVER!

I worked with Jim for the past year at Endurance, and his integrity, sincerity, and character were unmatched. He will be terribly missed.
