Never had the pleasure of meeting Jim in person, although spent hours with him on the the  phone. If I ever was worried about something when I called he had a way to make me laugh my way through it before the conversation ended. He was a very kind and understanding man in business and also in life I am sure. He will be missed. Prayers are with the Family.

As his older sister, my memories of my brother Jim are fond ones.  As children, we grew up in a near idyllic environment, in a great neighborhood which included many friends to play with, and we all thrived.  As a child, Jim was somewhat headstrong and a bit of a daredevil (I say this with affection).  Later, those qualities were to be transformed into his becoming a hard working, dedicated family man.  He had a kind and generous heart, and will be missed by his family, friends, and business associates.

Thank you  for sharing Jim with me over many years.  I'm  remembering today the many hours we spent on the golf course   together. Some  days were better than other, but he was a faithful golf partner who  put up with my sad game.    During the course of a round, we would discuss  family, business, golf and God and a whole bunch of other topics.   I'm missing him today, but am thankful for his life.

Rest easy my friend - you have left me with many fond childhood memories.

First of all, Bill and I were both shocked to hear about Jim's passing.  Jim was the guy who was the caretaker, the Energizer Bunny, who made sure everything got taken care of in our Shadybrook community.  Jim, again was the guy who you thought would always take care of all of us and keep us posted of everything we needed to know.  
Nancy, we are so saddened to hear of this news.  Our hearts are broken for you.  We can't imagine not seeing Jim doing his thing around your house, and can only imagine how hard this is for you and your family.  Please know our thoughts and prayers are with all of you!  Love, Jeanine and Bill Phillips

Sending my heartfelt sympathy to Chrissy, Brad and the rest of Jim's loved ones. When stopping by BRC for a visit, I always looked forward to seeing Jim's ornery smile and hearing his stories about the past. His affection for his family and fulfillment in his work were evident. I will miss him for sure. 

It is with great sadness that I just learned of Jim's passing.  As the former President of IDC-USA, I had the pleasure of working with Jim as a longtime member of that organization.  I always found him to be a man of his word...when he said something he meant it and you knew exactly where he stood.  A man of strong conviction in his beliefs.  My prayers are with his loving family.  May they celebrate the great memories and influence of Jim.  

Nancy,  our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this very trying time.  You and Jim have been friends for these many years.  Only God know why it has to be different now.   Special hugs to Michelle, Becky, and Chrissy, their families and all the grands.  We will be thinking especially of you this Saturday as you celebrate Jim and the life you had with him.  Love you all.
