I was so disturbed to hear of Jim's passing. I miss him every day. I wish we could have come for his memorial service. I didn't have a phone number or I would have called you. I hesitated to try to call Jim because of his hearing loss. I hope he wasn't in pain at the last and that he passed peacefully. I know I will see him again someday when we are resurrected to meet our Lord in the air, to live in heaven where there will be no more pain. I will keep you in my prayers .Love,Virginia

He was so smart and during the boat ride to Bohol he was telling me how the Philippines was so rich in culture. I think he read the entire history of the country in the encyclopedia before he came here. He loved to live but was cut short. He was a quite man that was misunderstood, reminds me of Max.
An intelligent man that loved to read. May he rest in peace with the Lord.

I worked with him at sysco foods and grew up about 2 blocks from him when we were young men. Jim told us stories and played Sandler football with us. He was a great guy. My condolences to his family. You are in my prayers.
