Not sure what to say?

Such a loss to the family of humanity.

Rereading Jim´s obituary is a good reminder that we must persevere and do all we can to promote a better life for people everywhere. His dedication continues to be inspirational.

Hello John, Just saw this online. I am so sorry for your loss. I was Jim´s neighbor in SB back in the 70´s. We reconnected on FB in 2020. He was sick at that time but he spoke so passionately about you and your longtime relationship. Hope this old old photo makes you smile. Jim was an amazing guy for sure.

One of the nicest people I´ve ever met on this earth. A guiding light for all of us.

It's been two years and I think of Jim often. He loved life, loved fun, and I loved him. R.I.P. Jim

I am inspired when I think of Jim.

We still think of Jim often. Best wishes to John and others in Jim´s life.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

Dearest John, I am saddened by the news that Jim has died. He was always a spark of light from the twinkle in his eyes to the way he radiated joy when he entered a room. I'm not sure if/when you'll see this message but wanted to add my condolences to the many lovely words that have been shared. They are a testament to how much both of you have contributed to making the world a better place. I have many pictures of our time at Good Sam, but am sharing a special one I have of you and Jim...
