It was so sad to hear of the passing of Jim. Jim was a friend and mentor at a time when I was struggling to find a path and direction in my life. His wonderful outlook on life, his kindness, and his smile and laughter were infectious. Though it has been years since I last saw Jim, I have only the highest regard for him. Jim was a good man, and while he will be missed, he will always be here in our hearts.

When I think of you and Jimmy I always say man they have fun. Family gatherings will be quiet without him. We are better for the privilege to have known him.

Such an incredible man! Jim was one of the kindest people I have ever known, and anyone who had the fortune to know and work with him was given a blessing for a lifetime....
