I am so sorry for your loss Anne. I first met Jim when I worked as a student assistant in the College of Business Advising Office at USF. We connected right away because of our ties to the US Air Force. I also worked alongside Jim as an academic advisor from 2000 until he retired. I will miss Jim's dry sense of humor and, quite honestly, some of his politically incorrect comments. He was one of the most sincere and genuine people I've known. I will miss him dearly and that big smile he would flash from time to time. I am thankful to have known him.

We are so sorry for your loss and mourn with you. We knew Jim for almost 60 years and have fond memories of times with him (and Rose Marie). Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May God comfort you through this difficult time.

My prayers and condolences are with the family during this time of bereavement. I worked with Jim at USF from 2002 until his retirement. Even after he would frequently visit, bring plastic wear, candy and share hugs. He always wore a smile and deep laugh, then a pat on the shoukder followed by a hug as I would jokingly ask him to come and advise students during our walk in hours. Jim will be forever missed in my heart. Blessings to the Nixdorf family and friends.

I worked with Jim in Advising at the College of Business at USF. I'm stunned at his passing. Anne - I and the rest of the staff so enjoyed working with Jim. His dry humor got to us every time, and I also learned a lot from him. He was greatly missed when he retired, and Jim will be missed even more now. I'm so sorry for your loss.
