We purchased several Honda's from Jim over the years. I never met a salesman who knew more about his product.  Sharon and I want to extend our sympathy to Jim's family.

I was 17 when I first started working with Jim. He was “the” ultimate source of knowledge when you wanted to anything about automobiles. I enjoyed many conversations with him and was able to meet all of his customers when helping them complete their paperwork. They always knew they were cared for. 
Personally Jim was a great man who loved to spend time with his family and friends. He loved them all so very much, and we knew it. I am so sorry for the pain his family is going through. It is the worst to feel like your family member has been taken away from you. Gone too soon, but loved by all. They will be eating well in heaven now.

My deepest condolences. It has been a long time since I have seen Jim. I remember him as a kind person and a great brother in law. May he rest in peace.

My sincere condolences as Jim was an all around great person and the world lost a great guy too soon.  I personally always enjoyed the short, the long, and the extra long conversations with Jim.  He truly enjoyed sharing his happy stories about his family, or trips, and you could tell family was top priority which is very honorable.  Tears were  shed reading, and I hope Jim is at peace and hope you can all find peace as well.  Know that Jim has left behind a priceless legacy.  Take care Ruge clan.
