"Jim, my heart stopped beating when I heard you were gone. I will be forever grateful for our time together. There is no replacing what you brought into others lives. You were the definition of dignified, and wow brilliant so brilliant. I will always be happy that you were in my life, and yes I have relaxed.... Thank You Jim for making my life a better one because you were in it. I love your family and I have never stopped loving you. You were happy and I was so glad to see how happy you were. Robin is a really sweet,smart and beautiful woman. I'm so glad you two were happy and I will do anything I can for her. I have so many memories, all the Halloween parties, New Years Eve parties!!!!! OMG we really were crazy and we had alot fun no doubt. Remember the time you guys told me to chew the alka seltzer up on new years morning to help my headache and I started foaming at the mouth omg that was so funny. Jim I will always love you and my heart aches for the loss of such a great man and friend.

Forever Your Friend,

This was a sad day for our family, and especially for my wife and I on our semi-annual trips to Florida. You and Robin were most gracious hosts and we will never forget you. I will never forget you teaching me how to play Texas Hold Em. As your only uncle,
I hope that some day we will meet in Heaven, where there is a beautiful golf course. May God have mercy on you and your brave mother. Jack and Barbara Riley, Haddon Heights, New Jersey
