Jim took good care of my Buick Riviera that I owned since I was a teenager.  I still own the Buick and every time a part is replaced I remember the good memories of Jim installing that part and the advise that always came from him on how to maintain my car.  When I took my truck to him for repair and a section was hard to reach he would hook himself up to a hoist and get the job done.  I got to meet his parents.  They brought him up to be respectful, caring and dependable. He was like a brother.......Gloria Guerrero

To my Big Brother, words cannot describe how much I miss you. You were always there for me growing up and gave me words of advice on many things especially how to take care of my car !!  Those things have helped me along life and made me a stronger, better person. Now all of us sisters will continue to be strong for each other and will always miss our big brother. May you rest in peace now.

Jim and I were schoolmates in 6,7,8,and 9 grade. In high school we took a course in automotive repair. 10 years later we became good friends. He will be missed by many.

I knew Jim since I was in Jr High School, always a nice guy.  Later he was everybody in my families go to guy to fix our cars. Later he hired my son who became what he referred to him as "My right-hand man".  You knew that if you went to Jim you would be treated fair and the job done right.  He was a great friend and brother. His dad was the TV guy and Jim the car guy. But they were much more than that and will be greatly missed.

My husband Tom and I use to go to Jim to get our cars fixed. He was always friendly and warm. Rest in peace. Xo

My deepest condolences and prayers to all the Rivas Family. I will truly miss "The Governor" he was a good man and I will celebrate a life well lived plus we should cherish the great memories forever!!
