Not sure what to say?

There´s not a day that goes by that I don´t miss you! My heart has so much gratitude for you and all of our adventures. Barolo and I will put roses in the Deschutes for you on Friday! Love, Springy

There is not a day in my life that I do not remember you! I am so grateful how we lived life! I was just with Bob at the Civil War. Such a special moment when your best friend from college misses you so much. I love you so much and am waiting to reunite in heaven!

I still have a photo in my living room of Jim, his ex girlfriend Ruth, and myself lunching on the outdoor tables of a NY restaurant. I make yearly trips to NY and they met up with me on two occasions.

This is quite a shock and my heartfelt condolences go out to his loved onesl

james,
i miss you every day! you were/are the love of my life and my best friend. we packed an incredible amount into your short dash! football, concerts, skiing, camping, traveling, remodeling, cooking, reading, being outdoors, happy hours, etc.
i received a letter yesterday that said your corneas were transplanted successfully and you gave someone the gift of sight.
lots of love, your wife!

I was shocked then deeply saddened to find out that one of my best high schools friends had suddenly passed away. It makes us all think of how fleeting life can be.

My sincere condolences to Jim's family and his wife Springy, children and sister Jolee. I hope to visit the next time I make it back to the Northwest from Pennsylvania.

May Jim rest in peace eternally.

David Shipp and family

It is still difficult to believe that Jim is not with us. It will be even more difficult when I am back in the office. Every morning he peeked over the wall, with a big smile, to say good morning. Over this past year, Jim became a friend. Rest in Peace Jim. I will miss and never forget you. Don

As Commander of Jim's lastest unit, DCMA Seattle, I knew him to be of great integrity, excellence, and self-sacrifice. May he rest in peace after serving his country, in government and industry, with honor. Jim, the men and women of DCMA Seattle salute you. Please know that your family is in our thoughts and prayers.
