James William Sole Jr.

I can only confirm thoughts left by so many others. It is in these thoughts that also confirms our place in life - to reach out and touch others in a positive way.
I am sorry for the loss we all feel, especially for his caring family.
Thank you Kristina for allowing those of us that became distant to stay "involved" in your lives.
God Bless you all.

Today I received the sad news of my former squadron mate and friend. My fondest and most cherished memories of being in VP-17 and in Hawaii include Soleman with his incredible sense of humor and brilliance. I grieve his loss, it was an honor to serve with Jim and will pray for his family.

The fraternity of "White Lightnings" have lost a great brother. Jim was an outstanding officer and a good friend. I'll personally remember Jim's contagious wit and fun-loving attitude that made both my time in VP-17 and adventures out on the island of Oahu more memorable. The thoughts and prayers of myself and my family are with Jim's family and friends.

I had the priviledge of working with Jim in Cleveland, at americangreetings.com. He was a great man who defined the word 'leader' for many people in the company.

He laughed easily, was quick to encourage those around him, and was greatly admired and respected. He led by example and was a humble, honorable person. He will always be remembered fondly.

My family and I are deeply saddened by your loss. Our prayers go out to you Kristen, Benjamin, and Sebastian....

My sincere condolences to Kristin and your children. Jim was a part of the MuseumShop.com family for a short time and yet he impressed each of us with his warmth and humor. May you find comfort in the knowledge that Jim was a valued colleague by those who had an opportunity to work with him.

I was deeply saddened to learn this afternoon of Jim's death, and I am particularly devistated for Kristen, the boys, and for Jim's family. Although I only knew Jim for a short time, I will always remember him as a highly intelligent, steady, thoughtful, gentle-souled, and earnest colleague. Jim's love for and commitment to his family shined through in all that he did. My heartfelt condolences to Kristen and the family.

You have my deepest sympathy as a result of the loss of such a good man, husband, and father. There are not words that can express this kind of loss. My prayers will continue to be with the Sole family.

Kristina and Family:
Although I did not know you or your husband, I worked for a long time with your dad at Jones Day in Cleveland. From what I have read in previous entries your husband was a loving, caring and wonderful man. His presence in your lives will be missed but you will always cherish those special memories and hold them close to your heart. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family during such a sad time.

I met Jim in the 6th grade when we both had moved to LA from the East Coast over the summer and were starting junior high as the new kids on the block. From the first day it was clear how strong, smart, and funny he was. Jim always brought out the best in others around him and he always conducted himself with class. He left his positive mark on the many Easter and Memorial Day projects that built homes for the poor in Mexico. Jim's greatest legacies are young but we know that he will be...
