Jim will be greatly missed. He has been my accountant and a dear friend for over 20 years. He had a heart of gold, was a true animal lover, and I will always cherish our relationship. My heart goes out to Tonda, his loving wife and soul mate.

Jim will certainly be missed by his family and many friends. He has been our accountant since 1988 and remained so even when we moved to South Carolina. More importantly Jim has been our friend for as many years. I will always cherish our "Late night Boating Adventure" many years ago and one we often mentioned with laughter. We always looked for Jim for guidance and will forever miss him in our lives. Our thoughts go out to our dear friend Tonda during this most difficult time in her life. Gary and Susan Calhoun

I have known Jim since 1982; he was my accountant until the day he died and a great one. Even though I moved away from Tampa in 1991, Jim did my taxes after that via fax, e-mail, phone etc. My sincere sympathy to all of us who knew him. He stood by his clients and was a caring man. I am not surprised that he died on April 16; he would not allow cancer to stop him from getting his clients' taxes done.
Sincerely, Daniel J. Morris, MD, Naples, Florida USA
