You are missed

Jim, I really miss you! We had some super times, working together at A1-Space Age Alarm company. Together we had a lot of breakfasts and would talk and draw on napkins circuits of IC chips. Jum asked me to help with the wireing of the first pipe organ in a building on Sumner street. We actually stay awake for 3 days to get it done. Before Jims' parents past away Jim took me to meet them. They had a piano in the house and I hadn't told Jim I could play the piano, so when he heard me playing he...

Jim and I worked together for years as burglar alarm technicians. Together we spent weekends splicing in thousands of wires on the pipe organ in the theater. He taught me almost every morning at Bob Mears A1 Space Age Alarm company, how to identify and use new Integrated Circuit chips. Sure do miss him and with my faith in God, we will meet again!

Miss you jim

We spent many wonderful times together both while working together and when playing or working on the pipe organs. Really miss him as he was a brother to me.
He actually got real excited the first time he found out I could actually play the piano. He even was able to hypnotize me once and made me feel like I had the best sleep ever!

I am glad that Jim and I were super friends and we worked together years ago at A-1 Space Age Alarm Company. I last visited him in October of this year and will miss him. The two of us at one time even played piano together.
My condolences to all his friends and family.

I remember laughing, working and talking with James when I had my computer store in Bakersfield. His loss leaves a large hole in my heart.

I am very sad to hear this... a couple of years back I met James outside the Granada as he was getting out of his truck. We made small talk about his building and about Bakersfield history. Before we knew it and to our surprise he invited us into the Granada... We had no idea the one the treat we were about to experience. He gave us a personal tour and behind the scenes to the operation in silent movies. One thing is to see this and another is to see him get behind the organ and like magic...

Jim was my best friend and I miss him every day. jennie
