Delia:
I weep for the loneliness you must feel without Jim. May you find strength to carry on without him. He will remain in our hearts for eternity.

Miss you "brubby". You are in a much better place now and done with suffering. Your Mama will take good care of you. She told me she was going to have a nice condo waiting for us. Take good care of her until I get there. Love, your sister

So very sorry to learn of Jim’s passing. I worked closely with Jim when he serviced the phone system at San Mateo County Hillcrest Juvenile Hall. We developed a unique bond and a wonderful working relationship for many years. He loved his family dearly, and he will be deeply missed. My condolences to Delia and the entire Van Pelt family. Rest in peace, my friend.
