Dearest Jean--
I just this moment learned of Jim's passing. He was one of my all-time favorite human beings -- and it was such a joy to be on Prime Time America with him so many times over the years. Once I was even on the program from a ship on the ocean! He was so creative and wonderful. I remember you both at CBA and oh, I just have the most wonderful memories. I'm very sad to hear Jim has left the world-- I had looked forward to getting together again. I...

Jean, I just found out about Jim's homegoing. (Today is 6/23/11# I will be praying for you and your family that God's daily comfort will hold and support you each day. I am in Christian radio today because of the training and encouragement Jim gave to me while I was at Moody. (1980-1982 ) It was a privilege and an honor to be one of the first student interns working on "Prime Time". I will always remember the things he taught me about radio, his smile and his love for music, but more...

Jim's asked me 2 B his 1st "drummer" playing with his "YOUTH" orchestra in a CHURCH SERVICE. It was GUTSY move on Jim's part!! He... along with Wayne, Chuck, Warren, Stan and Bob Murfin helped me get started in radio -broadcasting @ WMBI. The last 12 years I've been with NBC TV and have never forgotten Jim's help-direction back in the 70's. Jim... you are missed my friend!!! -Eric Kirchner

Jean and family, our hearts go out to you at this time. I remember well listening to drive time.

I have had the extreme pleasure of knowing Jim and being his friend for over sixty years. Words cannot express what Jim has meant to me over my lifetime.
Heart felt condolences to Jean, their children, and to Chuck.

We will miss you Jim! You were one of a kind!

Another Moody Radio legend in heaven. I remember listening to Jim on PTA in cue at KLJC in Kansas City MO and wishing we could air it. Our paths crossed for a brief time when I was blessed to come to WMBI in 1999. Thanks for your service and ministry, Jim.

As was so eloquently presented today at Jim’s memorial service, Jim was a wonderful, creative person, and a great encourager to many…..our loss, but Heaven’s gain. Praise God! He was a true servant of Christ! It was a great privilege to attend Jim’s memorial.

We enjoyed Jim's "Prime Time America"
when we were in New Mexico. Blessed to sing to Jim on the phone at Christmas.
May your consolation be that now the Lord
Jesus can comfort like no other. We will pray for you as you face lonely times. We are Beth Swan's parents. With
our love your brother and sister in
