Jim and Family. The shooting and gun world has lost an icon. Your articles were the first I would read in your magazines. All of your writings, over some several years, will be passed on to my grandsons. You will be sorely missed....Vernon Rahm--Pflugerville

My Dear Friend Jimmy,

Please forgive me for being so late in making an entry in your guest book. No excuse, but I was barely over the shock of loosing my mother when I recieved the sad news from my brother, Michael, about your untimely passing. I still remember the last time that we saw each other and the words that you shared with me.

Elementry School, High School (some anyway), Basic Training, AIT and Vietnam; we traveled down some paths that would affect the rest of our...

My Dearest Jim,

I don't know if there are words to describe the Love we shared with each other. I lost the physical part of you March 5th, the day before our 22nd anniversary. We could carry on conversations in a room full of people without even speaking a word, finish each others sentences and think of the same thing at the same time. I have lived more in the last 22 years than I have my entire life because of you and what we shared together. I am so grateful that I told you every day...

Jimmy,

This may be the last time I put in writing my thoughts of you, but you are now and always will be on my mind and in my heart. Just the thought of you brings tears to my eyes and a lump in my throat.

You were loved so much by Mama, Daddy, Sue and I and by the huge following of your nieces, nephews and their spouses. Not to mention all of your cousins, aunts and uncles. But especially by Patches, Josh, Brandon, Kaitlin and Mikayla.

Know that Patches, Josh, Brandon...

Jimmy,
The movie has finally ended and yes the heartbreak was there too. It's still really hard to get a grip with everything and facing the fact that you were the star after all. Patches,Brandon,Josh, and your Granddaughters along with everyone else will always miss and think of you everyday. I wanted to ask now with you being one of our Favorite Angels along with Daddy and Mama, to please help keep a watch over not only YOURS but DONNA'S and ALL of MY FAMILY too (YES! I know how "BIG"...

You accomplished so much in your lifetime and were loved by so many. That was so evident at your service. When you walked into a room (you almost always had to bend down a little to get under the doorway), there would always be a hug and a smile for those on the other side. Patches, Josh, Brandon--may your memories give you comfort in the days ahead.
