I will always miss Jim's smiling face in the audience each time The McDaileys played.  He was a kind and supportive man who made the world a better place.

Family...I wanted to share something with you in rememberance of Jim. Last week, i received a new CD in the mail. It was from man named Joeseph Daley; the album called ""The Seven Heavenly Virtues"". Remarkably, the CD features 19 strings doing arrangements of original songs in a classical/jazz style! What a strong reminder of the things that were near and dear to Jim's heart.
   My hope is that with the passing of a year, you have had to reflect on all the very good things you remember and that the pain has subsided somewhat.  Peace

Thinking of you on the aniversary of Jim's passing. Hope you are doing well in spite of your great loss.

I am sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of Jim. When Susan and I were in Against the Grain Bluegrass band Jim was always willing to help us with musical issues. In addition he and Roselyn attended many of our performances.
Over the years I had the pleasure of watching Jim perform in many groups and in many musical styles.
He was a great musician and a very kind person. He will be greatly missed in the Fort Collins musical community!

Meeting the Dailey family in Boulder back in '68 when I was just a teen, was wonderful..so many memories I will always have with me. I remember Jim as a kind and witty man. Always had a smile to share. And what a good cook! We had some fun times in Boulder with the CU gang...music adventures and picnics in the Rockies. 
I'm glad we made a return trek out to Colorado in 2006. Seeing Sue and meeting Willie, and reminiscing as well with Jim and Roselyn.  Jim embraced life with amazing energy. He and Roselyn went everywhere, and did everything.
We will miss you so much Jim. We feel blessed for having had the chance to know you, and share in your life and family. 
Our love to all..
Marie and Scott Morgan

Aunt Roselyn and family, I was so sad to learn about Jim.  He was an amazingly sweetheart of a man.  He will be greatly missed by so many.  You are on my heart and in my prayers.  Love Dana

Dear Susan, I've been reading stories about your father, and looking at the photos.  I only got to meet him a few times, and he was always so pleasant, and such a good man.  I'm sorry I never got to hear him play, as I'm sure he had a passion for music.  I know he must be very proud of you.  I'm so glad you and Willie got to take those special trips with your parents, and have those great memories.  I wish I could be with there to support you on Thursday, but know I will be there in sprit.  My love to you and condolences to all of your father's friends and family.  I pray for your mother to have strength and love during this painful transition.  It's obvious they had something very special.  My thoughts are with you, dear friend.   We'll get together soon.
Love, Liz

Aunt Rosylan Jim was a sepcial person, he was a very talented & kind person. He will be missed. Our blessings are with you and the family. Rick, Monica & boys

Dear Rosalyn and Family,
       Charles and I extend our deep condolences in the recent loss of  Jim. He was such a fine, talented man and we felt privileged to have known him. We liked him and enjoyed the times we shared with you both. He was always warm and kind. We always watched him as he played his viola in the Fort Collins Symphony, and missed him when he became ill and dropped out. He will be missed by many.
      Sincerely, Charles and Billie Welsh

Dear Roselyn and family,

We were very saddened to read of Jim's death in the paper.  We really enjoyed singing with you both and sharing lives together at First Pres.  What a wonderful, kind, talented man Jim was!  We look forward to making music with him in Heaven someday with our Lord.

Our deepest sympathy to you all.

In Christ,
Dave and Judy Cooper

We were so sorry to hear of Jim's passing.   We will keep his great music in our memories. Our thoughts are with you!

Roselyn, Julie and the rest of the family: We are so saddened to hear of Jim's passing. We didn't see as much of him (or you) as some of the people on here, but we have such fond memories of your visits to Seattle, and of course Colorado. I remember when the two of you came to our anniversary celebration at the Space Needle, and a wonderful visit at my parents' home. In Colorado we also had a chance to hear Jim play his bass. He was one of the nicest men we ever met, and his passion for music was unsurpassed. It's sad to realize he is no longer here with us. Our deepest condolences to all.

Roselyn, Susan, Willie & Family,
Jim was such a kind and gentle soul and his smile and style will be missed.  Bless you all for sharing him with the world.  Andie

While in high school, I was in the dance band. We rehearsed BEFORE school hours. Each morning, Jim inspired our group to enjoy a sound that was no longer mainstream. The fact that half of our group continued with professional music careers is testimony to 
Jim's inspiration.
With much respect and deep sympathy, 
John and MaryJane Markle

We were sorry to learn of Jim's recent illness and death. We will  remember the good times we enjoyed with him, making music, enjoying ISO concerts and meals together afterward. He was a talented musician and a valued friend to us. Our prayers are with you, Roselyn, and your family.

I was so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. I knew Jim for a relatively short period, the time together at the radio station (KRFC-fm) as a fellow jazz programmer. But it didn't take much time to take the measure of Jim...He was a treasure as a person and colleague. Know that he will be missed by all who had the privilege to know him. My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Roselyn & Family: I am saddened to hear of Jim's death. I'm sorry for your profound loss, and that familiar sound leaving your lives. I was glad to know Jim through our shared mutual pleasure in broadcasting and on listening to ""America's Classical Music"" ~ Jazz. A highlight of this joy was a shared broadcast on Jim'zz KRFC FT COLLINS Show, ""Just Jazz"", in which we co~interviewed Ralph Sharon, the virtuosic pianist & Master of The American Songbook; the ""discoverer"" of ""I Left My Heart In San Francisco""; and who was known to some as Tony Bennett's Music Director & Accompanist. ~~ I'll miss not crossing pathzz with Jim at Jazz Festivalzz & Gigzz. ~~~~ With Fondness, Peter ~~~~.

I have such good memories of the recorder trip to Japan.

Jim was a wonderful teacher, mentor, and friend to me.In recent years I had the privlage to spend time with him at two Jazz festivals and the last time at our High School reunion in Hutchinson Ks.Of all the teachers in my life he is the one that I sought out years later to thank him for always being in my corner and nurturing my love of jazz. Jim single handedly kept me from being kicked out of High School ;) I was able to thank him for that and for the lasting impression he left on my soul. I've never met a nicer guy. Thank you Jim,you helped make me the man that I am. Bob Eckhoff

Susan, Roselyn and family - I will miss Jim's warm smile and wonderful personality.  I will also really miss not seeing him in the audience for our shows.  He was one of the kindest people I've ever met.  I am so glad to have known him.

Lit a candle in memory of James Royal Dailey

Roselyn,  My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time.  Keep all the wonderful memories in your heart.  Jim touched many, many lives and will never be forgotten.
