Jim was a classmate at Bellingham High School, class of 1961. My deepest sympathy and caring thoughts go out to Jim’s family.

I went to school with your dad ever since grade school at Lowell elementary. I did not know him well, but I know he was an honorable man and much loved by his friends and family. He will be missed, but know that he is happy now. I do the Class of 61 Memorial Video (which is posted on You Tube). I am allowed to leave a link here. But you can go to you tube and search my full name (without parentheses) to see the latest. So far it includes your dad and 92 of his classmates. May the Lord bless your family.

I,m so sorry for your loss. Your mom and dad lived next door to us on Maryland Street before you girls came along. I worked downtown when your dad worked at the federal building. We meet almost every morning in the parkade and caught up on what was goning on. You have my deepest sympathy.
