Kathi and family

 

Renee, Marissa and Gracie

You don't know me, but I am Jimmy's cousin.  I have not seen him in a very long time.  He just stated sending me emails.  Your daughter Marissa has been emailing my daughter because Jimmy told her I had a daughter around her age.  I loved him very much.  My heart is breaking for you and your girls.  I have wonderful memories of growing up with Jimmy, Cheryl and Nancy that I will cherish forever.  God Bless you and your family.

Aunt Kay, Uncle Glen, Cheryl and Nancy.  I love you guys very much!  I am keeping all of you my prayers.

Love,

Donna

My deepest condolences to Renee, Marissa, Gracie and the rest of Jimmy's family.

Although I never met Jimmy in person, I have read many of his posts and conversed with him many times on Team Chevelle. Jimmy was a real down to earth guy that was always there to lend a helping hand, Give advice or tell you how it is.  The world has lost a friend and the Chevelle society has lost a brother.


God speed my brother.  You will truly be missed!!!

I would like to start by saying Jim really had a lot of compassion for his long career in the Nuclear Industry. Jim replaced me as the site technician at Turkey Point in South Florida. It was there that he met his wife and began having a family. Jim has told me life in South Florida was a great deal of fun. It was like being on life time vacation in the Florida Keys.

Many years later Jim took a position in Texas and it was there that he continued his love for his job, cars, motorcycles and of course the Steelers, (Go Steelers). Jim will be greatly missed by all those lives you touched. My heart goes out to Jim's family and all of Jim's friends need to remember all the good times we had with Jim and most of all keep his memories alive.  I will always remember Jim as a great friend, dad and husband.

Although I have never met Jimmy face to face, I have corresponded with him and have read many of his writings, postings and contributions to the Chevelle community over the last ten years. His untimely passing has affected me. Not being family, yet I still feel loss. There was a positive energy and enthusiasm, a willingness to help and share that naturally attracted people and left them with a good feeling. Still he was willing to tell you like it is, yet he would always do it in a positive way. Even through the recent fire that your family suffered he was holding together. I know how stressful a fire can be.

I wish to express my sincere condolences to all the family. The fact that so many people speak well of him at the web site that we knew Jim through is testimony to his character. This is a great legacy, and it didn’t just happen because he wanted it to, it happened because of the way he treated people.

Again, Godspeed James. Stay strong Renee. My heart goes out to you, Marissa and Gracie, as well as the rest of the family.

I only met Jim once, when he came out to California a few weeks ago for business.  He, Renee, Stan, and I had breakfast in Morro Bay.  I could tell right off that he was a straight ahead, hard working, honest guy.  And talk about cheerful!    With all that's been going on for them lately, he and Renee still had happy faces and positive outlooks.  Plus, it turns out that he is a Steelers fan! ( I think that gets you a free pass into heaven.  )  So, Jim, say hello for us to Myron Cope, Dwight White, and Ernie Holmes, please.  Pull up a cloud with them, watch the season, and see if you can get the Steelers some help from The Big Guy up there!  We'll think of you often.

I will certainly miss Jim and am deeply saddened by the thought of his family's grief.

Jim enjoyed his family, his life, and his hobbies.  Without a doubt, he had a positive effect on me and I am grateful to have known him.

I’ll always remember how creative, energetic, and fun he was.

I met Jim after he started working at Comanche Peak.  Being “car guys” we always had a lot to talk about.  His never ending talent for all things automotive was amazing. 

I think Bobbie Summers summed it up nicely when she wrote: “he is probably in Heaven getting those cars and motorcycles ready for us to ride.” 

…Hey Jim, paint my ride black.  Make it slung low and FAST!

 

May God continue to bless you and your family.

May God hold you in the palm of his hand while you are trying to endure the pain of this loss.  I once heard a priest say that "Spring will come again and with it will be the sight and sounds of God's love".  These are your dark days but Spring will come again and then all of you can move on with Jim's memories and God's help.

 

Thoughts and Prayers are With You...

My deepest sympathies to you and your family.  Jimmy and I shared the same love of cars, Chevelles in particular.  We were in the same car club and I regret that I never got a chance to personally meet him face to face.  From his e-mails and posts on Team Chevelle it was obvious that he was the salt of the Earth and very knowledgeable.  He will be missed greatly.
