I wanted so many times to see you and Diane because you were like my second set of parents. I was so young and immature when I met both of you--only 18. You were stern but gentle. I remembered so much. Sparky. The black cat. Your power point show. I wanted to make you proud by building the stage coach from scratch. I remembered the World Series. I remembered that the loud noises didn't wake you up as much as the tip-toeing which was remnants from the war. I remembered the French onion soup from the Plaza in vegas. I've been crying so hard since I just found out. I found out too late. I will never see you again, my surrogate dad. I wished I had a chance to say bye. Goodnight and sweet peace. Hopefully, I'm good enough to see you at the heavenly gates.

Jim you have been a blessing to my life during the past years of 2014 to 2015 and its a shock to find out you did not made it to 2016. i was in deep shock to have found out you are no more my good friend i remain your buddy Jim R.I.P.

Jim you were the best boss ever. You will be greatly missed and loved by many. So sorry for your loss Diane, Josh, Troy and Hillary.

To light your way home my friend.
I will miss you so very much.

My heart goes out to you, Diane, and your Family.
May God cradle you in his arms, comfort you and dry your tears.

Because for those who love with heart and soul

Jim, you made me laugh and gave me good advice. I have always loved you even when we weren't together. You were a great person and brother-in-law. I'm happy that you are no longer in pain but you will be missed by many people. I love you and may you rest in peace sweet man.

Jim was a kind soul. I first met him through music. He was my student who quickly became my friend! R.I.P. my friend..loved this man... one day we'll meet again!

One of my best friends is gone! You taught me more than just about everyone in my life combined. You were taken so much sooner than expected and I kick myself for every time I rolled my eyes at your advice. I love you like a father, a brother, and a best friend! I promised you that I would celebrate your life and be the rock that everyone needed at this difficult time. I am doing my absolute best! You will be sorely missed until I can see you again.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Diane and Jim's Family. Jim and I had some good times down at the GSA warehouse, and then more via email over these past years. God Bless.

God Bless you  and your family
RIP peace my friend  JIM

I have  enjoyed his wonderful  photos and talents
for many years
but even more
I have enjoyed  being his friend  and will miss him so

Ghost Rider, I will miss you buddy. -Tinker-

I am so very sorry for the loss of such a sweet kind man. I loved working with Jim and I'll always be grateful for how sweet he always was to me. I know you are and will always be missed.

I love you so much! Thank you for loving me and for everything you have done. You were the most unselfish person I ever met. It is an honor to be your daughter-in-law.

I love you with all of my heart and soul! I miss you so very much! You were, and are the best father in law any person could have ever wanted. Thank you for loving me and being there for me. I am so grateful for you for teaching me things about life and also helping me when I needed you. You were so instrumental in me becoming the lady that I am today. You were more to me then just my father-in-law, you were and are my dad.

I love you Sweet Baby.  I will miss you every day of my life until we meet again.  Thank you for fighting so hard to stay with me, but you deserve to be free and suffer no longer.  You are my best friend and my protector, my whole world, my heart and my soul.  I do not yet know how I will continue without you, but I promise to try.  I know that is what you would want.  Until we meet again in Heaven, I will remain forever your faithful, loving wife.  Thank you for the 41 years we spent together and all the memories we shared.  I love you,  Diane

You will be missed. I have so many happy memories of you. Lord please bring your peace and comfort to the family.
