I wish to extend my deepest condolences to Jim's family. I had the opportunity to work with Jim from March 2000 to May 2002 and always enjoyed his subtle sense of humor and incisive observations. He will be missed.

My deepest sympathy to Jim's family. I worked with Jim for several years and I always looked forward to the interesting conversations Jim and I had when he called into the office. The phone calls will be missed. Earth has no sorrow that heaven can't heal.

My deepest sympathy to Jim's family.

I met Jim when he was at the GSA

warehouse, so we have worked

together in some manner for about

20 years. Jim, may God take

you up within the shelter of his

arms.

I was sad to hear of Jim's passing. He was one of my first mentors when I began working for GSA in the late 80's and my rememberance of Jim will forever be one of a guy who liked a good movie, he liked a good meal and he liked to golf. Our conference call will never be the same without your input. Goodbye friend and may God Bless your soul.



I pray that the Lord brings comfort to the Jellison family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you, Jim's family. Jim will be missed. I loved hearing him talk about food and a few times dined with him in Greek town when he was visiting the office in downtown Chicago. Again, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Jim was a coworker and a friend. He loved to visit his friends in the downtown office and go out to eat. Jim was special and will not be forgotten. My deepest sympathy to his family.
