I am proud to have known Jim for many years going back to 1961 when I would stay overnight from time to time at the Millspaugh home. Jim was such a neat person and I respected and enjoyed our friendship through so many years. My best wishes to Jim's family and friends.

To Jim's family, I want you to know how sorry I am for your loss. It is hard to see a loved one pass away but I am glad he is no longer suffering from the cancer.
I have great memories of time spent with his Mom, Dad, brothers and sister that will always be with me. My love to all of you and know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry to hear about Jim Millspaugh. I did not know him personally, but my parents, Walter and Pauline Lamont, were frequent customers at the store. My dad was the greenskeeper at Trumansburg golf course. I can imagine them now talking about that golf course. The community lost a wonderful person.

I am sorry about the loss of your brother. Words really don't convey what we feel. I am sending a hug and hope that knowing people are thinking about you helps you get through this.

Jim's kind heart was evident even when he lost the ability to speak. I am honored to have known him.. Even for a short while. My heart goes out to the family. A gentleman like Jim is one of a kind and the heavens are brighter for his presence and our hearts are dimmer here on earth. Rest in peace Jim.
