He once told me that when he answered the phone if they asked for Jungle the call came from the south side of the mtn. If they called for Nippsey it was the north side. If they asked for Jim he wasn't home.
RIP jungle have a good time up there with all our people. Kenny and Jane

The Groove Rockers had the pleasure of meeting James at his retirement party; we performed and became friends. We also enjoyed Ruth and James' wedding party. We so enjoyed them-what amazing friends. He will be missed. He always made us laugh. A great person and friend.

I knew Jim as Jungle, a one of a kind guy. True to himself and intimidated by noone. May he rest in peace when he's done partying with his friends in heaven. He will surely be missed by all that knew him.
