Dear Judy, My sincere condolences go out to you and your family at this heartbreaking time. I will always remember Jim as being a kind, gentle and happy man. He had such a deep and recognizable laugh. I can picture him standing at your campsite in front of the fire with a beer in his hand, talking about his truck that he cherished and was so proud of. I used to love sitting and chatting with him about Freightliner trucks and the different engines that went in them. Jim was loved and respected by his family and friends, may your memories and love provide you with comfort at this time. He will live in your hearts forever. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Laurel
Dear Judy To You and Your Family Caring thoughts are with you in this time of sorrow. May the happinesss you all shared be warmly remembered ... and may those memories help to ease the pain of your loss. With Sincere Sympathy, Your cousin Jean
Judy, Our prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. I can remember Jim's truck always being parked so perfectly at the campground and the grass always looking so lush. Jeff wil always remember playing horseshoes at Ponderosa, he often talks about the great games and tournaments they had. Thinking of you. Jeff & Pat
I am so sorry to hear that Jim has died. He was a really nice man and so easy to talk to. I was Mgr. of Personnel (or Human Resources as now seems to be the popular terminology) at Loeb, London Division for 20 years, from 1973 to 1993. Everyone seemed to get along with Jim and he was well liked. I wish that I could express my condolences in person, but I am recovering from knee replacement surgery and cannot drive as yet. My sincere thoughts are with all his family.
