Our sincere condolences to Jim’s family. Very shocking to hear the news of his passing. Truly one of the nicest men, with a great sense of humor, a hard worker, with a sensitive soul especially with veterns! He loved his family spoke lovingly about his grand kids. You could expect the honest truth from him even if you didn’t want it, but that’s just another reason he was loved by many! Cheers…

I am proud to say that Jim was a great friend to me. Over the last few years, we spent many hours together sharing many things from guitars, country music, horses, rodeo, and most of all, our Marine connection. As former Marines, our bond was super strong and our friendship was one of mutual understanding and respect. I will miss my “drinking buddy” even though I don’t drink. He will always be in my thoughts and prayers and always remembered. As we say to fellow Marines, “Semper Fi”. It is the motto of the Marines and means Always Faithful. And Jim was always that. Always faithful to those he loved and cared about. Go with God, Jim. Rest in Peace and know I care. May you meet that Marine Honor Guard at the Gates of Heaven.

Jim is like an Uncle to me. Even though we spoke infrequently, he always had great things to tell me. Usually how proud and happy he is of his family, daughters and grand kids. Jim is all ways full of life stories and advise. He truly is a Cowboy and rode the life. I tip my hat to you Jim. Till we meet again.
