Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of my old messenger friend Jim Rapp. My condolences to everyone who knew this wonderful and unique human being. I got to know him on the streets of DC; I think we worked for the same company for a while and thus were frequently at the same buildings. I would always get caught up laughing at his crazy stories. He would slow me down, but I always treasured running into Jimmy. I lost track of him after I moved to Colorado, but I wish I hadn't. I miss you, buddy

Thinking of Jimmy and his family at Easter time. God bless.

My condolences to the entire Rapp family upon the death of Jimmy. May you always hold fond memories of his life with you.

I was not the closests of Jim's friends, but always admired his spirit and have his "Winged Mercury" photo among the number of photos I rotate on my cork board at work to illustrate how magical it was to be young and a courier in DC.

I am so sorry to learn of Jim's passing. I met him at Kenmore junior high school and honestly, his intelligence, humor and spirit stayed with me my whole life. I never forgot him; a truly memorable person. Please let these heartfelt memories of him give you some consolation at this difficult time.

Wilma and family: Our sincerest condolences on the loss of your son/brother. May he rest in peace. Fondly, Stan Kent and Julie Tronolone. (Senior Tennis League)

My deepest condolences to the Rapp family. Jim was an important person in my life, and he left an imprint on literally everyone he met. Even after his body began to betray him, he still had that sparkle and kept me regularly shaking my head in frustration!?! We are all lucky that our paths crossed his in this life.

I can still see Jim's painted helmet adorned with a giant pink feather as he flew through DC streets on his bike. What a graceful athlete and wonderful person.
My deepest condolences to all those who are missing him so much.

I will always remember Jim's free spirit. He was always nice to my and my family. So sorry for you loss.
