I was sorry to hear of Jimmy's passing. I remember him in Butler High School. We were in Ms Fortney's English class together. He was very funny and quite nice.

Coach Jim was a wonderful man and made a huge difference in the lives of many boys through his coaching, advice and summer conditioning program. He will be missed very, very much. ~The Fyffe Family~

To a great friend and mentor. We had very good times at the Iron Works and he was a great man. I know how much he loved his family and I extend my condolences to Nancy and Matthew and their family.

Big Jim, we will miss seeing you around town. It was a pleasure having known and competed against you as a coach. I coached because my son was involved. Jim coached because he loved the kids and the game.

Nancy, my condolences to you and your family, Jim was an inspiration not only to the kids he coached but to their entire families. He got me back on the field helping in conditioning when he was coaching my Grandson. He will truly be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

Jim Siple was a big part of a lot of kids lives in Columbia County...he coached both of my boys in baseball and they were taught respect and good sportsmanship. They are better for having had him as their coach. We are very sorry for your loss!

Coach Jim was one of the finest men I have ever had the honor to meet and work with. He coached my son football and I coached the "Eagle" cheerleaders. He was an inspiration to my son but always had kind words for the little cheerleaders on the sidelines. He went beyond to teach his players about sportsmanship and about how to be good winners and loosers..on the field and off. Thank you Coach Jim!!! Angela O'Byrne

Nancy, Matt and Family... Jimmie was a great man and I cherished his friendship. He and I work at GIW together for all my 36 years and I can tell you he was loved by all. Your Matt and my Matt were born about the same time and Jimmie and I talked many hours about our Matts. He loved his wife, his son and especially those grands.. I will miss the "Big Man"... May God give you all peace.... Larry Lynn

They don't make many like Big Jim. Such a gentle man with a heart bigger than himself. There are many young men in this area that are much better people today because of this man. I love you Matt and Nancy. Many have suffered a tremendous loss because he touched so many.

I worked with Jimmy at GIW for a couple of years between 1973-1975. I have always remembered him as a warm and friendly person who always had a kind word for everyone. I am so sorry for your loss. Please know that my prayers are with you all.

I only moved here 5 years ago, but I met the most inspiring coach our first season of baseball. Big Jim was a great coach and even though he never got to coach my son he always encouraged him to play hard at every sport he played and be his BEST. I will miss seeing him at the ballpark and on the field. May he rest in peace. A true coach and legend has gone on to a better place

There is now a great void in the football program in the Recreation Department. Big Jim was the epitome of what a coach should be! He took time with any child wanting to better themselves in football. We will truely miss Big Jim!!

Jim Siple was a gentle man with a big heart. He touched so many lives in a positive way. He was a family man, a coach and a loyal GIW employee to the very end. I will miss my friend Jim.

I highly doubt that there is an athlete in Columbia County that Jim has not had some contact with.He was a great coach, friend, and mentor to many of the young men in the area. He had a heart of gold and firm hand. He will be missed by all. Big Jim, May you rest in peace.

I give my sympathy to his family and friend Yes we have Lost a true CSRA coach I will miss on the sideline of football and basketball I know all you did in the last 20 years was make these kids become young men
September 10, 2011
I have never met a more kindhearted and caring man than Jim. He helped coach both my sons in football and both still recall the hard work & fun times had while playing for the Eagles. I am so very sad to hear of his passing. We will be remembering the family in prayer.
