I am so sorry to read of Jims passing. We spent many hours playing tennis at Olde Providence and Cedar Forest. Also on canoe trips with Jim and Harry to the French broad and other rivers within driving range of Charlotte. Cathinka, my heart goes out to you in your loss of such a fine person. My prayers are with you.

I just learned of Jim's passing. I met Jim in 1995. I paddled with him and also spent sometime with him in his beloved WVA home. Jim was indeed a rare jewel. A great man with a fantastic sense of humor and a true lover of life. Not many like Jim. Our deepest sympthy to the family.

Very sad to learn about Jim's passing. I happened to meet him on a whitewater canoe trip on the French Broad River in 1985, it was my first trip on the French Broad and he guided me through Frank Bell's rapid. We learned we were both lawyers and met up for other whitewater runs. I remember his dry wit; I still laugh at something he said about an encounter with some locals in Barnard, NC.

We are so sad to hear of Jim's passing. Everyone who's life he touched will remember him forever. Our sincere condolences to the family. He was a brother at the Bar and a fine lawyer, and a son of the game of golf. It has been years since we played golf, but when he would see me at the Courthouse or at a Bar function, he would greet me as "shortknocker"(meaning that I out drove him). We miss you Jim.

Jim was a great man and a mentor to me. He introduced me to the practice of law and got me started. Some of the best years of my life were spent clerking at his firm in the early 1990's. He was genuine, fearless, honest, and knew how to have fun. He loved his family and his clients. He will be missed by all who knew him.

My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. I will miss my brother.

I have known Jim since he was a college student, and I was a boy. He was a counselor and I was a camper at Camp Sky Ranch in Blowing Rock. I was later fortunate to know him as a fellow attorney in Charlotte. He worked hard for his clients and will be missed.

Jim was such a great person that added laughter to our lives. It was a privilege to know him as a friend and then to work with him as a court reporter. My love and prayers to the family. He will be missed...
