There are three kinds of people that I have met in this life. There are those that make you sad, there are those that do not impact you at all, and then there is the third, those that make you laugh and see the better side of life. If there ever was a person that fit the third it was Big Jim. No matter what, if Big Jim saw you were down he would find some way to make you smile, if even for just a moment. So while this may be our temporary loss, Big Jim is going to a bigger and better assignment.
May God Bless and keep Big Jim very close to him because he is a very specical person.
I worked with Jim at Point Beach Nuclear Plant. My husband and I became freinds with him, Maurice and Tom. What a trio! Jim, or Andy, as I called him, always made us laugh. What a great sense of humor! We will both miss him very much. Peace be with you Andy.
I am so sorry for your loss. I loved my Uncle Jimmy very much. I cant remember one time that he didn’t make me smile, He is the funniest person I know. We laughed until we cried on more than one occasion. I’ll never forget my Uncle Jim. He was my favorite uncle. I’ll never forget all the good times we had as a family growing up. My deepesst sympathies to Vonnie, Wade and Dax. I love you all and am sorry I can’t be there with you at this time. I have so many fond and happy memories of my childhood and Uncle Jim was a true inspiration to me. I love you guys. get my address ande phone # from Richard. I’ll see you when I get there uncle Jimmy, save a few of those jokes for me. Kim Dewey Westport WA

I worked with Jim at Point Beach Nuke Plant. I have to say he was a really interesting person. He had tons of stories and jokes to tell. He always made me laugh. I sure am glad I got to meet him; I will surely miss him.
My deepest sympathy goes out to his family… and sympathy to Monk and Chiles.
I work with Jim @ Point Beach Nuclear Plant.
He became a great friend.
I’m so sorry for your loss.
Jim was an excellent individual and I always enjoyed our conversations. He always made me laugh, and was the only one who ever called me Scoot.
Gordon: Please accept our condolences on the recent loss of your brother, Jim. Sincerely, Billye and Mike Drew
Gordon and family,
I was so sorry to hear of Jim’s passing, please accept my condolences. I have always considered Jim a friend since our days in grade school at Lewis and Clark. We played lots of ball games in our old neighborhood, great memories of Jim. He was a great athlete and a great guy. I am sure he and Jim Hawkins are trying to get a game going as I write this.
With our deepest sympathies,
Gary and Marie Eubanks
