Oh my. My brother, Greg Horton, was Jim's good friend, and they went to coffee every other Saturday morning. He always sent me a birthday and a Christmas card. He was so thoughtful and kind always. Sending condolences to his family and friends. I hope someone will be looking after his pets, because they were such an important part of his life. Fly high and fly free, Jim!

My parents, Jan and Orval Garritson, were friends to Jimmy's sister, Patrica Elbrader Faulkner, since childhood in Pocatello. I just loved Jimmy since my childhood, as he was so fun and kind to his niece Sherry Faulkner and my self, Christy Garritson Phinnell. As I grew up, I recognized what a high IQ Jimmy had, and so well rounded in most things! He loved his Catholic faith. He loved his siblings and nieces, I know this well! He was a wonderful, dedicated son to his mom too. Love always dear Jimmy, Christy
