Miss you Papa so much. In our heart and thoughts we have you every day. Love you.

I'm just finding out of the passing of Mr. Stidham. I'm so very sorry to hear this.

I worked at the Tampa office of Stidham & Associates for three years in the early 2000s. Mr. Stidham was such a joy to work for. His humor was wicked and he always had me laughing. His dedication to engineering and life was simply amazing. I will always cherish the memories I have of him.

He will be deeply missed. My condolences to his family and friends. May your hearts soon be filled with...

It is wonderful to read all the comments about Dad. He was absolutely the man he is advertised to be. I had a front row seat to the most selfless person I have ever known. There are no words for how much he will be missed. but the rich memories will certainly suffice.

Jim Stidham, better known to us at the time as "Uncle Jim" was my first boss when I started work at the Department of Natural Resources as an engineer over 45 years ago. He was easy to work for because you knew her cared about you and what you were doing. As our work careers led us in different directions over the years, he never forgot those young people whose lives he forever touched. I will always remember his infectious laugh and words of encouragement. His legacy lives on.

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

I had the honor and pleasure of knowing and working with Jim for over 35 years. I knew him to be a man that I was proud to call a friend and colleague. Jim will be missed.

I essentially owe my long and successful career to this fine man who believed in me and gave me the chance to begin it. I could not have respected him more. As many others also know, the numerous stories and incidents involving Jim are unforgettable and help define our time with this great man. He will be missed.
