I know I'm a little late but I just learned of this. He was an awesome man! Always patient and kind even when he didn't have to be. We use to drive him crazy on sleepovers when I was in high school but he never lost his cool, he would just come talk to us and that was it. Miss ya Jim, thank you for all the Grace you showed me throughout life, and all the welcoming you showed me as part of your family. Love, Mike, Allie, Connor, and Brandon.
Brother, my brother. Lost and then found; lost again through silence. The time we had is more precious to me than words can express. I will hold you in my heart to my last breath. Fly on Captain.
My Jimmy Jim Jim, My friend and co-worker will be dearly missed. His love of Star Trek will always remain with me, his great personality and mind were always something I loved to be around, and his deep insightfulness of life and positive direction and encouragement were always welcomed. You will be dearly missed, my friend. Beam me up Scotty.

I had the pleasure and honor of meeting and working with Jim during my last 5 years at JTVCC when I was promoted to Security Superintendent. He was a kind, caring, dedicated human being along with being a complete professional. I considered him to be a good friend and adviser. His loss is a terrible one. His family and other friends have my deepest sympathies & condolences.

Jim will always remain in our hearts, remembering many hours spent with him during Capital Ringers rehearsals, performances and social gatherings. We all know how much Jim loved Linda, Nathan and Taylor. He will be sorely missed by the many who knew him.
