So sorry for the loss that your family and the world's been dealt. Definitely going to miss the almost daily banter and pranks played on one another. Things are definitely a little dimmer now that your light has been lost. Prayers to all that you've touched. You'll be missed. One of the good ones...

I was privileged to share some laughter and chats about family with Jim at Miami University. He always had a smile on his face and was a very kind and thoughtful man. He was well known here at Miami and I know I speak for many of the Miami family that we will miss him terribly. The pictures you have shared here remind us of what a nice person he was and know your hearts are breaking now. Just remember him with a smile in your heart!

I liked Jim from the day I met him forty years ago. He had a quick wit and a good sense of humor. I was fortunate to have known him. Sad to see him go so soon. Wish he could have stayed a little longer.
