Not sure what to say?

There is hardly a day that goes by without me thinking of Mr. Jim Tafel as I have in my man cave a picture of "Sense-ational" a paper head line of Mr. Tafel's horse Street Sense winning the Ky. Derby. Also I have a picture of Jim getting a haircut by yours truly for I had the pleasure of cutting His hair for many years....."Truly a Top Drawer well respected Man in every since of the word. His Family truly must miss this guy. But we all know He is in a better place winning races for the Lord...

Great man, very humble, signed a street sense poster for my grand niece, neighbors in building on northwest highway.

My husband. Ed and I enjoyed our relationship with Jim, a fine gentleman.

We'll miss you Jim, you were quite a guy.

I am so sorry to read. You are in my thoughts.

My heartfelt thought's to Gust and Tafel Family. I had the honor of being Jim's barber for 20 or so years. I could not have been happier for Mr. Tafel then when His Horse "Street Sense" won the 2007 Kentucky Derby. I know God had a "Special Place" prepared for His Good and Faithful Servant,(Jim Tafel) Fond Memories, Colby

My Thoughts and prayers go out to the Tafel family.
A GREAT MAN AND GREAT FAMILY

May the Lord walk with you. May He comfort your family. I wish I had spent some time with you and your family.
Your cousin,
Marla

Please accept my condolences. Rely on God through this time for he is not far from you.
