Not sure what to say?

I can't believe it is another year since Jim's passing. Time does certainly go faster as you grow older. I do have a lot of the shows that I purchased on my computer and listen to them often. We do miss you, Jim and Pat.

So many years have gone Jum and his wife's passing but I still order Harry Nile audible books and have been listening to them for over 30 years. Not sure i could sleep at night without my Harry Nile! From cassette tapes to cds and now to audible books, I will continue to listen ! Being from Seattle originally it will always be a staple for me!

Another year has gone since Jim's passing, but the new entries in all the varied series are just great, and are in the true spirit that started with Jim and Pat and their vision. We follow every week on YouTube. Lee & Pat Duigon Metuchen NJ

I met Mr French around 1968 through another fellow, like me an Old Time Radio show collector. I enjoyed all his radio programs he created, and still listen to several hundred I have in my collection. I hope Jim is still entertaining others in Heaven

More time has passed since Jim left us, but his work will be remembered. His kindness to me, when I called Imagination Theater to ask a question, was just wonderful. I was so thrilled to actually be speaking to Jim! And Larry, too. He was truly one of a kind--a peerless writer and so productive. We miss Jim and Pat and will continue to do so. Fortunately his work lives on now and we are listening to the IT programs on Youtube. Regards Lee and Pat Duigon Metuchen NJ

As a Minnesotan, I knew of Jim French through his work on Imagination Theater for many years. He wrote many of the radio plays and they were uniformly excellent and entertaining. 'Jim French Productions' was (and is) a mark of quality.

To the family of Mr. Jim French,

I would like to express my sincere condolences for the loss of Mr. French.

May the Most High God strengthen your family during this difficult time of sorrow. Please find comfort in Psalms 145:18, 19 promise that "he is near to all those calling on him."

Sincerely,

Please accept my deepest and heartfelt condolences for your loss. May the God who "binds up the brokenhearted" and "comforts all who mourn" sustain your family for many more years to come. Isaiah 61:1, 2

I always enjoyed listening to Jim French when he was with KIRO radio. He always seem to give KIRO its personality.

I had the pleasure of attending one of his Harry Nile recording sessions with some of my family members and will always remember it. He will be missed by many, but part of him will remain with us through his work.

My belated condolences.
