Family of Colonel Jim, Smiles return as I recall Jim's entrance at the O'Club astride a tricycle bedecked in biker leather and pedaling in to the tune of "The Leader of the Pack." Miss you, Bro. Buying a few rounds tonite with a few of the Old Crew, thinning out now along with our hair lines. Of the troops and for the troops. Bert

Cant believe it has been 5 years since my brother Jim passed away, all too soon in his life. And now, he is also with the love of his life, his wife Liz. My thoughts go out to his family, three beautiful girls, my nieces. Prayers and good wishes are with you all. Aunt Joanne

Great memories of Jim's sense of humor. Battalion command billet was not often conducive to "getting loose," but I remember with many smiles how Jim could brighten the Ft. McClellan O-Club with his creative perspective of Army life, especially when the rest of us were buying the rounds...
Colonel, thanks for your contribution to our regiment...of the troops, and for the troops...

It is hard for me to realize that my brother is gone. I have many happy memories of our times growing up in Erie and summers at Avonia Beach. Our adult lives did not always converge, but my love for you has never been diminished. You are a wonderful guy and will always be in my thoughts. Love, your sister Joanne

I am shocked and saddened to learn of Jim's passing. We met at Ft. McClellan in 1985. We learned we were graduates of Gannon (me in 1959) and shared a wonderful and memorable tour together. Jim was first and foremost a SOLDIER in every sense of that word. Rest in peace dear friend. God bless your family in this time of trial. Col. (Ret) Dick Martin.

"Captain" Reisenweber was my company commander of the 118th MP Co. at Ft. Bragg in 1975. He was a good officer, and when we discovered we were both from Erie we reminisced at times.

We had some great times together at Gannon. Jim was a good fraternity brother and a success at anything he tried. He is gone far too soon.
Lieutenant General Jim Dubik
June 20, 2014
Jim was a great leader. I watched him motivate and teach his soldiers and learned a lot from him. When I first came on active duty with the 82nd Airborne Division, Jim was already there. He was the only person I knew, and he kindly took me under his wing teaching me the "ropes" of leading paratroopers. The example he set stayed with me for the rest of my career--even though our military paths did not cross again. My prayers are with him, and his family. May God bless him and give strength to his family.

Jill and family,
Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers and may your hearts be filled with wonderful memories that will comfort you during this difficult time.
