Not sure what to say?

Dear Wilson Family,
I am sorry these condolences
are late.
My father (Tony Mello Sr.) mentioned
Jim with high regard. The entire Santa
Cruz hunting crew was dear to my dad.

Remembering your great love story today and always.

My condolences, of course, to the entire Wilson family and I also wish to send my sincere thanks to all of them for their friendship over the last 25+ years. Because of the professional relationship between Jim and my husband, Bob, we developed a genuine "real deal" friend. And then as a result of Sue's gentle (and encouraging) suggestions, we moved to Santa Cruz! Not just any old place in Santa Cruz, but to George Wilson's original family home in Pasatiempo! What a gift to be a part of...

From the moment I first met Jim 15 years ago, he always treated me like a friend. My wife Heidi & I will always be so proud to have known him as our friend. We will miss him, & never forget the contribution he made to our lives. -Louie and Heidi Adorno

Sorry to hear about Jim's passing. He was one of those rare individuals where his word and handshake was better than any contract. Great man who I had the ultimate respect for while growing up in SC. My condolences to Tom and the entire family.

Jim was an intelligent man and the epitome of gentlemanliness; the rare individual about whom you never heard a disparaging word. I shall miss him greatly.
