Sorry to hear Sharrie. It was a pleasure and honor to play music and share good times with my friend, Jim. I remember going to Redeemer and practicing on acoustic guitars after he would get off work, he knew so many songs and had a lot of stories He was a true talent and was generous with his advice and his time. I'm going to miss him!

Sad to hear the news Sharrie. He was a sweet and funny man, and I enjoyed jamming with him on the porch and listening to his stories. Been missing him even before I heard this sad news.

Very sad right now, the tears are falling, lost one of my best friends this morning. Mr. Jim Sunquist of the Fendermen passed away after a long battle with cancer. I'm going to miss you so much Jimmy, but I can hear you and Tom finally singing again. I Love you. On the Wings of a Dove Jimmy.
