We met Jim when he married Linda, my long time friend. I deeply admired his loving care for Linda during her illness and his courage during his own.

Thank you for sharing your life with us; although it be for such a short time. I guess I am selfish, I wish we had met earlier so I could have more memories, more talks, more life.

Although he was only in our lives a short time, we got to know what having a brother was like. Talking to Jim on the phone was like talking to our Daddy again. I will forever remember our trip on 89A and how we laughed so hard. Rest in Peace, Brother. Until we meet again. We love you..... Katie

Jim was a friend I met through the Cincinnati Chapter of the 82nd Airborne Association. He was an honest and dependable man who would help anyone that needed it. He will be missed by all. Gary L. Strobel, Honorary Member of the 82nd Airborne Division Association, Cincinnati Chapter.

Dear Michael, Chris & Misty: Your dad has been a wonderful brother to his four sister's. When my father passed away back in 1989 Marcia and I came to Cincy to meet him for the first time. He accepted us with open arms and made us feel like family. I will always remember him coming out to Arizona and staying with my family and I. He will never be forgotten by his family and friends. RIP Jim.
