Not sure what to say?

Not sure why this showed up on today but I do know this was the kindest giving Attorney, human, family man ever. All the above says it all and more joined the Kiwanis because of his love to all. His Legacy will always live on.. Blessings always to his family.

You could not have a better friend than James. Family came first with James. Both he and Karen raised two great sons. James was a Marine always. He was wounded in Vietnam, and returned home and became a successful attorney. I had the great pleasure to know James for 51 years (1963 to 2014). Those were great years. I will always miss my friend James.

I WAS VERY SADDENED BY THE PASSING OF JIM. MY CONDOLENCES TO KAREN AND HIS FAMILY. I WAS A CORPSMAN IN 1ST PLATOON FOX COMPANY IN OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER 1967 WHEN JIM FIRST JOINED FOX 2/4. LATER AGAIN I RAN ACROSS JIM DIURING THE BATTLE OF DIA DO JUST BEFORE THE ILL FATED ASSAULT ON MAY 1 TO SAVE GOLF CO. THESE WERE SOME VERY TOUGH TIMES, MOST OF FOX CO. DID NOT SURVIVE THE DAY. FAREWELL JIM. DOC

Jim was so kind and helpful when my mother passed. RIP my friend.

To Karen and your whole family. I will really miss Jim. He was our guiding light not only in combat but in life. I want you to know that if ever there is any thing we can do for you or your family I will be the first one on the bus. I will keep you in our prayers and we will see you this next year at the reunion.
Love Bob and Suzanne
