Not sure what to say?

It was a special privilege to have known and worked with you. You live on in the lives you touched like mine.

Dear Marsha and Robson Family:

I was so saddened to find, just now, the news of Jim's passing in 2007. I think of him often. He showed us great leadership when I worked with him as a Field Marketing Specialist at Zimmer Patient Care. He was a true friend and excellent mentor.

Please know that his contribution in this life lives on, as his passion and example has been a source of inspiration to me and many others.

He would have been an excellent father. With tomorrow...

Jim-you taught me a lot about myself, life and business, starting at Zimmer-Hall Surgical in the late 80's continuing on through various phases of my life and career.

I hope you are in a better, peacful place now and will miss you! Thanks for being my friend and mentor.

To the Robsons,
I deeply regret not being able to attend Jim's service to pay tribute to him and to support all of you.
Like so many people, I am honored to have called him my friend. I was able to tell him in his final days, that he wouldn't die, that he would live on in all of us who he inspired. That we would carry his example and legacy with us and try to inspire others the same way.
I will not think of him and be sad because he died. I will think of him and feel happy because he...

Dear Robson Family,
My family & I just returned from vacation when I found out about Jim passing away. In our last conversation, Jim mentioned that he was going to have bagpipes at his funeral...sorry for not being there for you.

Jim was a great leader and mentor that I have tried to emulate in my career. While Jim was tough and expected a lot from everyone, including himself, he NEVER turned down any of my requests to take time off for my family. He let me put my family before...

The world is a better place as a result of Jim’s being here. His wonderful legacy is equaled only by the family he left behind. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to Marsha, Yanna, Ian, Alec, John and Sidney, and to his brothers (Geoff and Bill) and of course, his mother (Lala). Jim Johnson

Dear Marsha,

I'm so sorry to hear about Jim's passing. Please know that you're in my thoughts and prayers.

Mr. Robson,
I am very appreciative of the few times we spent together over the years. I was very moved by the words the pastor and your brother spoke of you. You are a great soul and a role model for your sons and daughter. In times like these, instead of mourning the cycle of life, I am going to celebrate the way you lived... Free...

With Much Respect,
Brenton Tyler Purcell

P.S. I will never forget to plant "the seed"

We are going to miss Jim greatly. He had a long and tough battle but is now at peace. We love you all,
Jack and Gloria
