He was a kind and gentle man.

Fr. Jim was a wonderful friend. I had the pleasure of knowing him through my father, his friend since boyhood. Fr. Jim was also a regular celebrant at Ten-Thirty Catholic Community in Denver. I always looked forward to having him celebrate Mass there.
Fr. Jim will be greatly missed by me and my family. In many ways, he was like an uncle to us - always interested in our "current status" in life and always encouraging.
