Dear Cori and Jim,
The years I spent working with your Dad were such a memorable time. He was always true stability and inspiration. In spite of his loyalty and dedication at work, it was his family that was truly his greatest achievement. The tender glances he would give the two of you at work did not go unnoticed. I remember how proud he was. Steve and I send our prayers to you and your family as you try to get through this very difficult time.

Dear Kay and Family
I was so sorry to learn of your loss. Jim was a gentle man and a gentleman. He was a true friend and a wonderful partner all the years we worked together. I was lucky to be his colleague. His tenacity, always accompanied by a smile, and his genuiness were his hallmarks to me.
I will say a prayer tonight in his memory.
