Thank you for sharing Jim with Richmond. I was so glad that he helped to keep Praise the Lord on the air. The station and hard work Jim provided helped to bring many people to the Lord in this area.

To the Campanas,



I worked for Jim from '94 to '97 at channel 65, and he was just tremendous. I've never had a boss quite like him, and I doubt I ever will again. I was pretty new to the business when I first started there, and he was an excellent role model and teacher. He was a class act, and I'll miss him greatly. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Sherry and family,



I am so sorry to learn of Jim's passing. To this day I look back fondly on my days at ch. 65.



Jim was an inspiration, someone for whom every problem was an opportunity to do better. Long days at the studio, longer nights at the transmitter site, it didn't matter, he had his dream and he made it happen.



The world is a lesser place now, but I am fortunate to have known him.



God Bless, and I'll keep you all in my prayers.

SHERRY AND FAMILY

SO SORRY TO HEAR OF THE DEATH OF JIM

I AM THINKING OF YOU AND WILL PRAY

FOR THE COMFORD OF GOD IN YOUR LIFE

JIM AND I WORKED IN THE MASTERS PLAN

MANY YEARS AGO AT THE CARPENTER CENTER



Our destination is a place,

Far greater than we know.

For some the journey's quicker,

For some the journey's slow.

But when the journey finally ends,

We'll claim a great reward,

And find an everlasting peace,

Together with the Lord.
