Not sure what to say?

I am just now hearing of Jim's passing. I have fond memories of a road trip in Florida to Key West in 1981-82 over New Years, with our mutual friend Kenny (Huggs) McShane. I'm sending best wishes to his family.

To Jim's family - Please accept my belated condolences. I am a very old friend of his from his Reed College days. I am so sorry for your loss.

Jim was an old friend of mine, meeting in a dorm at Macalester College in 1978. He inspired in me a love of honest debate and critical thinking, and introduced me to a lot of great music. I had the pleasure to touch bases in May and was very surprised by his untimely passing.

So sorry to hear about your loss. You know that God and Jesus are in the best position to comfort us when we lose a loved one in death.
