Kelly and Lindsey,

I just learned about your father's passing. I will miss all the great times, golf outings, and friendship I had with Jim. We met when we were both 18 and continued the friendship throughout the years. My condolences to you both. However, it is comforting knowing you are keeping the family legacy at UVA going as he loved the University. Take care and please keep in touch.

Kelly and Lindsey, 

My deepest sympathy to you both in the loss of your Father. Thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Kelly and Lindsey
We are thinking of you and wishing you well.
John and Anita Meeks

Dear family 
We lived next door to your dad growing up in Woodacres and my brother Timmy was his good friend and also became a lawyer in DC. I now live in Carolina beach and was saddened to read of your dads passing. God bless you.

Dear Kelly and Lindsey:
I was stunned and saddened to read about the passing of your Father, who was one of my first close friends after moving to Bethesda from Salt Lake City in 1965.  I remember Jim coming up to the Walt Whitman lunchroom table, sitting down, and then saying "Deal me in" about whatever we were talking about.  The last time I saw Jim was during the 1980s at Union Station, a time when I was reporting on Capitol Hill for the Salt Lake Tribune and Manchester, N.H., Union Leader.  I remember Jim's Mom fondly, too -- she had the loveliest Charlotte, N.C., accent I'd ever heard.  I see that you are both pursuing degrees at U.Va., which is a wonderful testimony to your Dad's influence and legacy.  I am so sorry for you both in dealing with your loss, and please know that I will lift you both up in prayer during this time of grieving and in the future as you launch your careers.  My wife Annette and I would welcome meeting you anytime you are in the D.C. area. ~ With love, Tom Gorey

I am so sorry to hear about Jim. We were in the same Whitman class, and I knew him to be smart, funny and sweet. We talked about books and argued about politics! My condolences. Lisa (Johnston) Howorth

So sorry.  Jim and I practiced Comm Law in competing firms.  We became good friends, often playing golf together.  He could just crush a 4.5 wood and otherwise school the rest of us.  He will be missed.

Dear Kelly and Lindsey, Our hearts are broken and we grieve at the loss of our dear friend. Please know that he loved you both more than words could express.  His pride in being your father filled every conversation we had. We love your father and love you both and are always here for you.  Much love, Cathy and Dick Fisher

Kelly and Lindsey,
We are so sad to hear about the loss of your father. Please know that we are just a phone call away if you need anything.  We love you and pray that you find strength, comfort and peace.
Lisa & Bill Rolle
