Barb, I have heard so many stories on how Jim served the community and loved what he did. He always had a smile and a hug for me at church. My heart goes out to you and your family I know you will miss him dearly. Just like our Lord God and Savior he will always be with you . Much love my friend.

To Barb and Family. It´s hard to find the right words to say in this moment of sadness. We send our condolences to the entire family. Jim was a kind, giving, and caring individual who showed love, concern, and compassion to the patients in the Infirmary in Jamaica on our trips. Mostly he gave back to his community in so many other ways, and he will surely be missed. He touched lives.

Barb, take care and cherish your wonderful memories. He´s gone way too soon. Hugs.

I was given the privilege of knowing Jim and Barb thru drag racing. I served with them on the Safety Safari on the NHRA tour. As a racer, I knew I was protected and safe with Jim there. He was a all around Superman to us all. He will be missed terribly.

Barb and family, oh my goodness, I am completely saddened to learn of the loss of such a strong and admirable hero who dedicated his life to the community. Although I only met him a few times, I know through Barb´s stories how much he loved his job and loved his family. He was and always be a very respected man. And to Barb...I am so sorry. I know we lost touch many years ago but you are forever in my heart and in my thoughts...be well my friend. Love, Michelle

Jim you were my hiring manager at DAC ambulance, working with you and Barb for 18 wonderful years. You were a mentor in the EMS field as well as with the NHRA safety safari. You definitely will be missed, prayers for Barb and the family. Heaven gained another angel.

Condolences on your loss, both family and work family. When anyone enters the life of service to others, and grows in that service, it is a special calling that takes on a life all its own, and brings a new family to bear. Jim spent years educating others to care for fellow human beings, and did so with his passion and care, and for that, I am greatful... Jim, Rest in Peace brother... the next platoon takes it from here, it is now your time to rest, and wait till we all come together in that next stage of existence. May your family and friends be blessed in knowing you are now at peace physically and may the memories live brightly in the minds of all who knew you! May Perpetual Light Shine Upon you, and Eternal Peace grant unto you, Amen!
