Sharon, Jared, Jason and Beth,
Roger and I are truly heartbroken for each and everyone. Our deepest and most sincere condolences. God speed James, God’s speed.
You are all in my heart & prayers. May God give you the strength to get through your loss. He was a good man and will be missed by many.
Jim was one of my good friends at Wash U. We started around the same time and talked often. I had the pleasure of attending a church service where he spoke a dozen years ago and remember very fondly the joy he exuded when each grandchild was born. I kept gum on my desk for Jim. If I switched to any other candy, he complained. So, I always made sure I had gum just for him tucked away in a drawer somewhere. I will miss him very much. Hugs to his sweet family.
