My condolences to Bernita and their family. I am so sad to learn about the passing of Jim Whiting. My daughter, Alexandria, and I were neighbors of Jim and Bernita's while living in Encinitas. He called on me a few times to help with a few computer problems. I enjoyed helping him and admired his interest in keeping up with the modern world. We had annual neighborhood gatherings and Jim would perform magic tricks for the kids. I enjoyed them too :)

I emailed him a few weeks ago to let him know I was a contest winner for the SD Union Tribune's cartoon caption contest and thought he might enjoy seeing it. When I didn't hear back I searched online and found his obituary. It seems like yesterday they moved to L.A. Where does the time go?

God Bless

I met Jim when we tutored ESL. Jim was a friend to all. When Jim left the literacy program, he was fondly remembered for all his magic performances. I could always recognize his cartoon work when it was published. Every morning I see the mug he gave me as a gift, Bad Hare Day. Jim will be missed by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him. Bernita, my sympathy to you and your family. Bev Hill

Toyota Carlsbad and I send our condolences to Jim's family. Jim was a good friend and a mentor and may his gags bring many more smiles in Heaven. I'll keep an extra ink pen on my drawing board for you Jim.

God Bless.
