Rachel, Tom and are deeply sorry to hear of your loss. Jim was a good man. We remember well the dinner party we enjoyed at your house with other AAUW friends which was an auction item. It was most delicious and fun. I also enjoyed working with Jim on the slate plaque he made for me for Camp Catherine Capers about 12 years ago. You are in our prayers. Best of love, Bibsy

Dear Rachel, Bob and John: All of you were so blessed to have Jim as part of your immediate family. I was blessed to have Jim in my life as that wonderful, friendly, funny,caring and giving cousin. I will never forget him, as he never forgot about his family. He always stayed "connected". Memories of Jim will last a lifetime for me. I hope WE will continue to stay "connected" and follow in Jim's footsteps. What a wonderful man he was. Hold those memories you have of Jim close to your heart. JUDY

I met Jim at Whiteman Chevrolet many years ago when I was a customer there. We had interesting conversations about motorcycles and the few times I saw him afterward he always remembered me. He was pleasant & friendly. A nice memory for me. So very sorry for your loss.

As I write this I have tears in my eyes. My Uncle Jim was the best..... ever. "It just doesn't get any better than this" will be in my heart forever. His kind encouraging words when I needed it and his hilarious outlook on life will be missed. I know he wouldn't want me to be sad. Every time I see a Harley Davidson I will remember him and know he is riding free. All my love, Keri

Hello to all of Jim's other friends..I knew Jim through the deal of buying his flht harley and without hesitation, he always helped me with anything I found wrong with it...he must have liked that bike and his side car cause it did not have any major problems for the time I owned it. Jim would go on Bike runs with all of his friends and was a perfect gentleman to all..He will be missed by all bikers withn special thoughts. Please let him feel the wind in his face as always and rest in peace. Jim and I are 4 days apart in age and had a lot in common with the Legion support and never forgot his friends..My sincere condolence to his wife and tell her not to worry, Jim will always be around ..Friends forever..mr.Bones of Whitehall.
