Jim, Bill and Linda and I grew up together as our mothers were sisters. We had some great times together in Greensboro and Raleigh. As adults, Jim and my husband Tal became good friends and when he visited his parents in Greensboro, he always came over to visit. Great Man!!

I enjoy reading your comments. It makes me realize just how fortunate I have been to be with Jim for 48 years. His celebration of life will be Sat, Aug 28 at Tucson Womens Club 6245 Bellvue St off Wilmot (behind Trader Joes) at 1600.

Jim and I are cousins and I think fondly of our growing up together and enjoying weeks at the "Agnes" cottage in Kure Beach. What a great man. Much love, Elizabeth Franklin Fuller

Frank and I were fellow brothers-in-laws who saw each other most often at the large Veerhoff clan family gatherings at Granny’s (Mary’s) and Otto’s house in Washington.

I was in the OCS class with Jim and remember him as a great officer and a better human being. His friendship was lifelong and although we rarely saw each other, it didn't diminish. I last saw him at the OCS class reunion and it was like we never missed a day. Ruth and I will remember him and his family in our prayers.

There are no words that will comfort us as Jim crosses the bar. But I can tell you that the Lord's CG better be getting buttoned up and ready to go because there's a new QE coming up to do some check rides.

I've always enjoyed my time with Jim both on a boat, shore side and on our way. We seemed to have the same view of life and its participants -- no doubt because we walked down a few of the same paths together.

May your many wonderful memories begin to fill the...
