Even though Jim and I were miles apart and several states we were always able to pick up where we left off.    Jim you have always been one of my favorite cousins and you will be missed.

I worked with JD for 7 years at Electronic Data Systems (EDS) 1997-2004.  Several of those years we shared an office space.  During some of the most stressful times in my life, JD became more than just a co-worker. He and Cindy became family. Thank you Cindy for sharing him with all of us. He was truely special.  The world needs more men like Jim Dobbs. We love you.

Cindy, Laurie, Val and Amanda, it has been quite a life we've been able to share for so many years with all of you.  Can't even begin to know your loss, but we know Jim was one of the happiest people we've ever known and you were all the reason for his happy life. May the knowledge that he is even happier in the presence of our Jesus bring a sense of peace we will only know when we've been reunited with him someday.  As much as he loved all of you and was loved by you, given the opportunity, he would not return after being nestled in the arms of his savior, Jesus Christ.
May the memories of Jim and the grace of Jesus bring peace to all of you. Please feel our prayers and love as we lift all of you.

JD worked with Onin Staffing in our IT Dept. (2007-2011), the last 2 years he was physically here at our corporate office.  When ever you asked JD a question you KNEW it would be preceded by a fascinating historical factual tale of who,what,when and  how it pertained to whatever we asked him! His war stories, literally, and his stories pertaining to how technology has changed were absolutely fascinating.  But it was his love and pride of his family and his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ that shown above everything.  JD, you hold a very loving spot in our Onin hearts....we'll see you again!!

No words can heal the sorrow you feel right now, but you are all in our hearts, our thoughts, and our prayers.
