Hey buddy. 
It's been almost 6 years now and life is moving along but I still miss you all the time. I've got a son now, he's just over one and a half and the most amazing thing that's happened to my life. Wish you were here to meet him, you'd love him. We went through so many names trying to find the right one, until we found the one that just fit. Jimi. It was just too long since I had a best friend Jim in my life. Sometimes I wonder about how you were at his age when I see him growing up and can only imagine what Mama had to deal with. 
Love you and miss you forever. 

I met Jim when I joined the PCG family at RJ 7 years ago. With many common interests, we became great pals. In those 7 years, not once did I ever see him unhappy. He was AMAZING. Always smiling and being goofy with me. I admired everything that he was. I've been through my share of loss for my age but NEVER have I felt so unaccepting of it. I don't know if I ever will.   
To Jim's family:
THANK YOU for bringing such an outstanding person into this world and into my life. I'll cherish my memories of Jim forever. You are in my prayers.

I am really sorry to hear about Jim's passing. He was one of the nicest people I've have met,I think that the huge outpouring of love and condolences provide the best proof of that. I hope that his family and friends can find peace. My thoughts and prayers are with you all!!

May the Lord bless you and keep you!
May the Lord let his face shine upon you and be gracious to you!
May the Lord look upon you kindly and give you peace!
                                                               Numbers 6:24-26

May Jim and our son Chris rejoice together in heaven in God's holy light.

We are so sorry to hear about Jim's passing, having lost his incredibly brave and courageous fight with cancer.  In the short time that I have known him, it was easy to see that Jim was more concerned about others than he was of himself.  Jim was a valued board member of the Friends of Raymond James, a non profit group dedicated to providing financial support to fellow associates who suffer catastrophic events in their lives.  He made a difference in the lives of so many others!

We celebrate with you Jim's life, his accomplishments, and all that he has done to make his mark on this world.  He bathed him in our prayers and thoughts, and please know that we, like may others, have lost a good friend and member of our extended family.

Ron Hartz, on behalf of the Friends of Raymond James Board and Committee members.

Keeping you all in my prayers and hoping your memories of Jim and the love of family and friends will help you through this sad time.  We love you.

I am really sorry to hear about Jim's passing.  He was one of the nicest people I've ever met and I think that the huge outpouring of love and condolences provide the best proof of that.  I hope that his family, close friends, and girlfriend can find peace and I'm keeping them in my thoughts.

Mike and Donna and family,
We're praying that the Lord will comfort you with His Peace, surround you with His love and encourage you with His presence during this difficult time. We will truly miss Jim!
We love you and want you to know if you need anything, just let us know. 
Brian and Joan Molloy

Mike, Donna & Family,  You all have our deepest sympathy.  I know there is not much one can say at this time.  As you know I have been through this too and I understand but there will be a time when you will look back with love and even smile at the time shared with Jim and the pain will lessen.  I will not say it will go away but the pain will get better.  Love and prayers to you all.  Aunt Vicky
