I met Jim in Lassen Volcanic NP in the summer of 1947 when we were both seasonals.  I kept in touch with him and even visited he and Barbara in Pocky Mtn. He will be missed by all who knew him and worked with him.

I just saw a message conceerning Jim's passing today.  My thoughts and prayers are with you all.  Jim was a very good man, with a positive outlook on life and all that it holds. He had an influcence on my NPS career over years.  He was at Rocky when I was a seasonal on the East side at Fall River and Longs Peak (1960-64), and was there again when I was in the Regional Office in Denver beginning in 1983 after coming south from being Supt. at Glacier Bay in AK.  And over the years...and when I was again at Rocky as Asst. Supt. in 1996-98, I saw Jim and Barbara.  With his life experience and loves, and the large family, I am sure the memories are many and very, very good.  Blesings to the family...John and Jean Chapman

I have wonderful memories of Jim and Barbara at ROMO. Jim was especially nice to work for. I hope all of the good times will be remembered to help lessen your grief at this time.

Barbara,
Pat and I wish to extend our condolences.  Like Sandie, we will always remember the great parties we had at Fire Island, but, more importantly, I will always think of Jim as one of the best Superintendents I had the pleasure of working for during my career with the NPS.  God??Ts peace to you and your family.

Jim joined us for a couple of years on the Green River with sons Reid and Jim Jr. Having learned to fish from his dad, Reid in July of this year won the Bob, the trophy awarded by the Gang for catching the longest fish. We are sure that Jim had something to do with this achievement and that Reid would be the first to admit this. We will miss Jim's dry humor, warm smile, and stewardship of our national parks. We will remember him each July and every time we fish in Rocky Mountain, Yellowstone or some other National Park. Our sincerest condolences to Reid and all other family members.

I met Jim & Barbara through the HouseCalls program from the Estes Valley Library. Delivering books to them and getting to know them was a treasure. Jim will be missed a great deal in our community.

I was saddened to learn that Jim had passed away.  Jim was my supervisor while I was the resource management specialist at Rocky. He was an excellent supervisor and very supportive of my efforts.  I really enjoyed working for him.  He was a marvelous and understanding individual.  A good man.

The world has lost an incredible man!  We have so many fond memories of his cheerful attitude, gentle approach, and love of nature.  Barbara, Betty especially sends her love.  (If you remember Betty, she is now living near daughter Patti in Colorado Springs)  May you all find strength and comfort from endless wonderful memories.  In loving sympathy, Betty (and Patti)

Dear Barbara and Family.  I am so sorry to hear about Jim passing. He was like a loving Brother to me, we spent a lot of time together every morning on his way to work. and he is my youngest Son's Godfather. born in 1963 when Jim and I were on the Church management. It was so nice to visit with Jim last summer.  God Bless You All.  Bill Wiemers.

Dear Barbara,children and grandchildren-When I think of Jim I think of a big smile and wonderful parties in Fire Island. What a great Supt!!!!! I must say there was a great tug in my heart to see this wonderful picture.  What an amazing man he was!
God Bless and I will be thinking of all of you!Sandie (Martinez) Townsend

I am praying for each of you. And while it has been a long time (grandma and Grandpa Staffelbach's 50th anniversary, I think), Uncle Jim's kind spirit, gentle demeanor, and ready smile remain fresh in my heart and mind. My love to all of you, Linda

Our heart felt Condolences to all of Godbolt family, may he rest in peace. What a great life, what a great family he left behind, he will be missed.

Reid,

I never had an opportunity to meet your dad, yet feel like I know him from the many stories you've shared about your adventures with him.  He was a true outdoorsman who was clearly loved by all.

My sincere condolences to your family on the loss.

Regards,

Mark Oliver
