I had the wonderful honor of getting to know Jim from our Plus Two Toastmasters Club. From the first day I met him, he showed warmth and compassion and a true sense of wanting to help the new members become the best they could be. He taught me so much in the short time we were friends but most of all, touched my life, and made me a better individual. We'll all miss you Jim. Our time together was just too short.

So sorry to hear about Jim. I sang with him in a gospel quartet back in the late 70's/early 80's at church. Great guy!! Thoughts are with the family.

May God comfort his loved ones in the loss of a good man. Jim, I will miss you.

I'm so sorry to hear Jim has died. Our friendship started at ETSU, on the racquetball courts. Years and years passed by until our paths connected again on the courts at Bally's fitness center. Same smile in college to the same smile at Bally's you couldn't miss it! My heart goes out to the family.
