I want to extend my condolences to Stefani and her family. Jim was and will continue to be a great mentor to me not only as an educator and tennis coach but also as a kind and gentle human being. In the face of this disease he showed courage and a spirit that should be an example to all who encounter difficulties in their life He will be missed but revered forever.

I join with so many friends and family who knew Jim in offering our deepest sympathy on his passing. There are no words to describe the grief that I feel right now, and I cannot possibly imagine the shock and sorrow that has been thrusts on the family as well. Everyone will miss him dearly.
May you and your family find peace and comfort in knowing that his loss is felt by all who knew and loved him. Always remember when someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. I send you thoughts of peace and courage. Your family is in my prayers. Peace, Prayers and Blessings. Our great-grandmothers were sisters.
