One of the best around and enjoyed when JIMBRY was with WROZ. Has met him a couple of times. Was a real nice guy. Sorry for your lost. May God will be with the family during these hard times.

Dearest Mary Ann and Buffy Sue:

I am sorry for your loss. Carole has kept me posted on Jim's condition. He was a great guy. I remember him from the races at Tri-State Speedway. He kept us laughing. Condolances to you and your family.

Jimbry was a great guy: a friend and broadcasting colleague. I'm sorry to hear of his passing. My condolences to his family.

On behalf of the Rogers families we offer up our condolances. Jim and I shared many letters and email communications while documenting out common family history. Again, our condolances go out to the family and those who held jim close to heart. Wheather we remember him as "Black Jack" or "Cousin", we will remember him fondly. M.C. Rogers, Avon, IN.
