Not sure what to say?

Thinking of him yesterday, as I see he died on August 4. I have a photo of him from Halloween 1983. I´m traveling for medical now but I´ll post it when I get back to juneau.

He was a wonderful commissioner of Labor and a warm and welcoming boss to me when I worked in his office as a typist in the early 1980’s in Juneau. I was only 19-20 years old, and admired him so much.

My uncle jim made a great change in my life.I will miss him. I was lucky to have my dad Harry and uncle jim in my life, they are the best.

Carolyn, it wasn't until we received your Christmas card that we suspected that Jim may have lost his battle and went home to be with our Lord and Savior. We are so sorry for your loss and saddened that we did not get to know Jim better. We will miss seeing him on our trip to Alaska this year. Much love to you and your family from our family. Jim and Pat

Carolyn, Sorry we could not make it to Anchorage for Jim's service. He was a great human being and an example of everything that is right about the labor movement. I very much admired him and valued his friendship during the many years we worked together. Driving by your former home on Pioneer Avenue always brings back memories of the great parties and good times there when Jim was Commissioner of Labor. Love, Tom & Heather Cashen

My heart aches for the loss of Jim. I worked for him when he was the Commissioner of the Department of Labor. Of all the people that I have worked for over the years, Jim was by far the very best. No one else I know of cared so much for the people who worked for him. I have told and retold stories of Jim as Commissioner of Labor. So many funny ones. Though I have not seen him in a few years, he will be missed.

Carolyn, my deepest condolences on the loss of Jim. We share so many fond memories from long ago. May God bless you and your family during this difficult time.

Our hearts are extremely heavy, but our spirits are lifted knowing that we were lucky to have been blessed by having Jim in our life. It truly was an honor to call him my Father, friend, and mentor.

Carolyn, our love and prayers are with you and the family in this time of need.
