To the children of Jim.  I have just heard of your father's passing.  I have stayed at the Ponderosa Lodge almost every year since 1975 except for the last four years.  I called to make reservations and was told of his passing.  You had a wonderful father.  He was very knowlegeable in so many things and always spoke so proudly of you.  I spent many an afternoon petting Shadow and talking with your dad about Estes Park and Nebraska.  I emailed him last spring I believe and he told me that Shadow had disappeared.  He really loved that kitty! He said he tried adopting another buddy but it disappeared too.  He will be missed by many of the guests like me that have returned year after year.  He was always there when I checked in to make sure I made it from Omaha.  He always had multiple irons in the fire and seemed to be going non-stop.  I too lost my father three years ago and it is something you never get over but you just have to accept.  I feel as if your father was part of my family too as I have always felt that the Ponderosa was where I always was truely happy.  Grief is what we pay for love but it is what makes us human.  My heart and thoughts are with you.  Jill Beck

Mia and William - I was so sorry to hear about Jim's death today. We were classmates at PHS so many years ago and have kept in touch every since. We both spent time talking about our children as well as reminiscing about times past - he was a very caring father. Our last correspondence was during and after the recent floods and he was thankful that the damage wasn't worse, but was concerned about others. I will miss his e-mails, jokes, and discussions about books, politics, and our mutual backgrounds in the field of education. The world lost a very special person.

To the Family and Friends of Jim Tawney: 
All of us in the Estes Valley Library family express our sadness at the loss of Jim Tawney.  A scholar, a business leader, a humorist, Jim captured and expressed so well the spirit of the Estes Valley.  We are honored that he was also a friend of the library.  And we are grateful for your remembrance in that regard.  Our thoughts and prayers are with you for peace and strength, now and in all the days ahead.  May you be blessed, as we are, in memory and inspired in your own lives by the example and spirit that Jim shared.
 
Sincerely,
Claudine Perrault
Library Director

To Jim's family.  We are so very sorry to lose a good friend and proponent of Estes.  We are sorry we will be out of town this weekend but want you to know we will be there in heart. Our sincere sympathies.  Toby and Christine
