Jim and I were roommates at West Point for three years. After graduating we toured Europe together. Army duties separated us until 1975 when we were both in the 2nd Infantry Division at Camp Casey, Korea. Once again, we had great fun together! Jim was a class act, a great friend, and a great family man. My prayers go out to his family. I know that they will miss him greatly as all that knew him will.

Remembering all the great times-as a coworker since almost day one, a friend from APCI days until we talked last week and the days coaching baseball together. Always there when there was a problem or a challenge and always part of the solution. My sorrow is salved by the fact that you didn't suffer and that you have joined Chris after the years of missing her. You have been a friend and an inspiration and your spirit will live on through your sons and grandchildren. Thank you for your friendship and your service to our country.
RIP

RIP "Jim" my sweet and wonderful friend! Thank you from the bottom my heart for our wonderful late evening conversations, sharing a good bottle of red wine, our long political conversations, your caring visits in my traumatic happenings over the years - Jim you were always there to provide a caring solution! I´m sorely saddened at the fact you have left all your amazing family and friends, however, you are not in pain and can rest easy with Chris once again by your side. My sweet and wonderful caring friend you will be sorely missed! Dottie Lake

To Matt and Mike and families, I was so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. It doesn,'t seem like ten years since your mom is gone. Now they are together and I'm sure he can't stop talking about the grandchildren. May he rest in peace and his memories be a blessing.
