God bless Jim, who was a close personal friend, and someone who will hold a special place in my heart. The many things that we shared at a time when he, I, and his brother Bob did many things together is a time that will remain with me forever. Jim's infectious sense of humor and wry wit kept him in a place that I and many of his friends considered him a conversationalist entertainer. It hurts to even acknowledge the loss of my good friend. May the family and all those close to Jim please accept my most sincere condolences in this sorrowful time.

I enjoyed working with Jim Hoopman for many years at Edgewater. I understood the pride and love he had for his wife Deb, and sons John and Beau. If Edgewater had a hall of fame he would be the first inductee. My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time.
