It's been almost five years and almost everyday when talking to someone about flying and Stinson Field, Jim's name comes up. He may have left us, but he will never be forgotten!

Jim and I have been flying friends for many years. I will always treasure the times we spent together and our flying discussions. Jim was probably one of the best Flight Instructors I have ever known, and he will be greatly missed!
My thoughts and prayers are with his family. God Speed Jim!

Jim and I were close friends, we spoke on the phone at least 3 times a week and sometimes every day, A very accomplished pilot, I wish I knew half of what he had forgotten about flying, we will all surely miss him.

I've been friends with his son Jimmy for a number of years now and any time we did some shooting out on the property he would always tell me "Don't shoot my cows" That's what I'll remember the most from Jim. He was always kinda and welcomed me into their home. He will be missed.
Rest in Peace Jim
