Dear Linda,
I just happened to be looking for old friends on Facebook, and I came across this guest book. I'm a bit in shock right now, as I had no idea that Jim was sick or that he passed away almost a year ago. I didn't send any Christmas cards last year, and so was out of touch with you and Jim. I am so very sorry to learn of your loss. You and Jim were together for as long as I can remember. Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I'll drop you a line, in case you don't...

Linda, I am sorry to learn of Jim's death. What a great photo of Jim. It captures his vitality for life. I'll always remember seeing him on the CYC porch following a race. Regardless of how he finished or the weather, Jim always a big smile on his face. He lightened me up.

So sorry to hear of your loss. I worked with Jim in Yellow Pages & got to appreciate his sense of humor during the conversion to laptops for sales personnel. He helped others take it in stride & always had a funny comment that would have me laughing until tears came. I know that he is sailing in heaven as it was his second love after his family. It was a pleasure knowing such a wonderful person.

Jim and I were friends in school. We played in the NAHS band together. Jim played at my wedding. I last saw him at our 45th school reunion in 2005. I am saddened to learn of his passing. Your family is in my prayers.

Linda,
Dana and I were saddened at the news. Jim held on through some very tough circumstances that would have challenged us all. I never saw Jim without a smile, and will always remember him for his days of sunny disposition.
