James Hamlett Wilson

I am truly sorry for your loss. I knew Jim as a fellow VIR member, always enjoyed seeing him at the track. He will be missed.

Jim and Carter were members of our Indian Princess Tribe. Jim was a terrific guy and he and Carter always had a lot of fun spending time with each other at our campouts. Jim will be missed by everyone who knew him.

I have very fond memories of Jim from the days of his visits to VA Tech while in school at H-S.

i am fortunate to be a member of jim's racing family. i'll always be grateful that i saw jim on friday both in his new racecar and in the paddock where we talked cars & rigs and, as always, shared much laughter, joy and silliness in anticipation of a fast and fun weekend. jim was so tickled to have his racecar sorted out and ready to go. i'll always smile when i think of jim taking off his helmet after a session on the track....sweaty, smiling big, unkempt (a rarity!) and always excited...

Jim was easy to work for, kind, and funny. A memory that will ever stand out to me is Jim's explanation for leaving early on the Friday of the weekend leading up to Father's Day. Jim informed us that he was leaving work early because his daughter, Carter, was taking him to the movies. He was so excited that they were going to have this special time together.

Carter, I don't think that you know me but, when I think about your Dad, several things come to mind. First, when we we worked together at Shearson Lehman Brothers, I remember his high level of professionalism and the fact that he was one fine dresser! A real fashion statement if I ever saw one!Then, some years later, I remember how excited he was when he learned that he going to be a father! And along those lines, I will allways remember seeing him sitting and standing on the bleachers many...

To the Harris Family:
I'm so sorry for your loss - I know how much he meant to you all. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

A great guy! I knew him professionally and he was always at the top of his game. He will be missed.

My memories of Jim:

- My younger brother was always better at Atari and our favorite game, River Raid. Jim and I would play for hours as a team and never do as well as Doug did alone. So, on many occasions, as Doug neared our “high score”, Jim would run downstairs and flip the circuit breaker, instantly turning off the Atari and allowing us to keep our claim.
