Not sure what to say?

I was a chemist who was laid off work in San Diego and took a position with a solvent extraction plant just outside of Las Cruces New Mexico, back in 1994. I was living in an old farm house, owned by my parents and my TV could only pick up one station from El Paso. Jim was the weather forecaster there and the first thing I remember him talking about was all of the static electricity in the dry, fall air. I remember him talking about "all those negative, air-borne ions out there, colliding...

Jan & boys, and Molly,
Roger & I are praying for you as you go through this tough time, thankfully not alone but with the comfort of our Savior. We remember being at your house with Patrick and Aundie, marveling over the collection of weather gear around your home. I know he will always be remembered by the community for his weather "bug". We remember the fun times (when the kids were small) when we used to hang together!

My wife Anne reminded me of another Jim Gamble story. The astronomy club we belonged to met at Hueco Tanks for a Star Party. It was a little after sunset and here comes Jim with his telescope, dressed in short pants, sneakers and a T-shirt.

Sorry for your loss .he was a very sweet man. My condolences to all of his family. Will always remember him ..

Dearest Jan and boys,
I was saddened to hear of Jim's passing. I know you will miss him terribly....BUT he truly did "pass" from this life to the next. A perfect place, no tears, no pain and where he will wait for you all to join him someday.
I love you,
Doris

Jan, Chris and Steve,
I have some great memory's of Jim. He will be missed so much. He took me to the station to show me how the weather was done and then showed me how he was going to do this April fools joke and I went home and watched it play out and rolled on the floor with laughter and now all I can do is retell the story of a great man. God bliss him and your family. Craig and Virginia
