Jimmy did have a mischievous sense of humor. That was for sure. That was such a fun part of him. We enjoyed going back and forth with our little banter.  And how he would go on and on about politics.  Such a serious subject with him.  
Jimmy loved to have fun yet took some things so seriously. But no matter what we talked about, he always brought a smile to my face.  
I will miss you so very much dear brother.

Jim was a good and trusted friend and colleague, with a wonderful, and sometimes mischievous sense of humor that delighted everyone.  I will miss him.  My heartfelt sympathy to Edna and his family.

Edna, you and your family have our deepest sympathies and condolences at this time. We were shocked to learn of Jim's passing, know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers.  Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you.  
Much love, and once again our most sincere condolences.

Elisa Paul Reggie Harris, Vilseck (GE)

Jim, you will be missed dearly, may you rest in peace.  I will miss your friendship and feel blessed for having known you.  Edna, I love you and have you in my thoughts and prayers daily.   Mary Barcenez and family

Know that my entire heart is with you at this moment Edna. My most sincere condolences to the Matthews family.

Edna, I am so sorry to hear your Jim has left this Earthly World. I know how happy he made you when he entered your life. You must know that his heart will always be with you and your family. I've often thought of you two. The cross that your father made, and was blessed on your wedding day hangs in my dining room. I know your faith is strong and you find strength in Jesus Christ. May God bless you and keep you, forever and ever...Amen.

Jim was a fine person; he made everyone around him a little richer.  We will miss his candor and his wit.

Edna, Roel and I want you to know how very sorry we are for your loss.  The video of Jim was beautiful.  God give you the strength you need at this time.  We love you.   Amparo, Roel and Boys

Jimmy left this world a better place.  He was my friend and I shall never forget him.  I was proud to be able to Preside at the Sacrament of Marriage for him and Edna.  He is now free of his earthly tomb and lives forever with his Creator.  Edna, you and Jim will live in my heart forever.  Be assured of my prayers.

Edna, I am so sorry to hear about Jim. I just found out. Its been 10 years since I've seen him but it seems like yesterday. I remember his smile and his love for life.

We will miss Jimmy.
So sorry for your loss Edna, 
remember the wonderful times you had together, cherish the memories.

Edna, my deepest sympthies to you and your family.  I was a classmate of Jim's at St. Mary's High School.  I just recently reconnected with Jim on Facebook.  We reshared good memories.  I feel very blessed to have had that opportunity.  Rest in Peace, Jim.

I knew shortly after we met that we would  be more than neighbors. It was obvious to me early on that politics would be a frequent topic of conversation. Thank you  for awakening that sleeping dog. Mary Kay and I will miss our ( it must be a northern thing ) dinners and just sitting on your back porch in the summer enjoying iced tea while Mary Kay swatted away the june bugs. Our thoughts and prayers go out  to Edna and the rest of your  family. You have left a void that will never  be filled and we miss you. 
Bill and Mary Kay ( Cedar Hill, TX )
