Not sure what to say?

Flying West but not forgotten on this, the 2nd anniversary of your passing. My prayers for Susan and all of your friends and relatives on this day.....God speed

Hard to believe it has been just a little over one year my friend. You are missed, from the R/C field in Washougal to the cockpits and people whom you shared time with

I met Jim at the 'Wings Over Coshocton Airshow' years back when attending the pre show safety briefing as the Fire Rescue Incident Commander. It was hard to miss the reverence given to him by those in the room who knew this man. Jim had a smile on his face that lit the room and cut through the seriousness yet his words held the most weight in confirming all components of the show were tick tock. At the end of the briefing he said to the pilots and Admins..."Safety is #1, but lets have alot of...

For you Jim! May all your memories shine on and never be foirgotten!

We always considered "Airport Bum, Sir" a part of our family and will miss him greatly. Our prayers and thoughts will be with his wife and family.

Jim flew in the Watertown SD "Airshow 2000" in his Chipmunk. He did a somersault in mid air which was truly amazing. I will alsways remember him for his professional approach to aviation. May he rest in peace and look over us from above!

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with and knowing Jim at Delta Airlines ( Northwest Airlines ) for years. We will miss his enthusiasm, smile, and genuineness. He made everyone he met feel special. We will miss him.

Our prayers are with you and your family

Jim and I flew out of Watertown,Wisconsin Airport and he was such an inspiration to me when I was getting my VFR license. He always had words of encouragement and he was so happy all the time. He was truly passionate about flying and followed his dreams...he will be dearly missed by all.
