I served with Jim, we all thought highly of him and he was liked by all of us. He was always in good humor and could be counted on to pull his weight and them some. Even though it's has been 30ish years since we last saw each other this brings a tear to my eye as I say rest in peace brother. Buffalo!

Please accept my deepest condolences. So very sorry to hear about James' passing. He was clearly well loved. Please be encouraged and strengthened by the Creator's expressions as you cope with this most difficult time. For just as we hate to see our loved ones suffer and die, the Creator does as well. He certainly did not want this outcome for James. (James 1:13) In fact, he views death as an enemy and vows to do away with it. (1 Corinthians 15:26) He compassionately expressed at Isaiah 26:19, "Your dead will live." You will be able to enjoy life with James on a paradise earth as the Creator originally intended. (Isaiah 55:11; Psalms 37:10,11; Revelation 21:4)

I am so very sorry for your loss. Please find comfort in God's sure promise of a resurrection as set forth in the Bible. (Consider Acts 24:15; John 5:28,29) Those who are raised to life will have the prospect of never again being subjected to misery, sickness, or death. (Revelation 21:4) I hope that reflecting on these thoughts will give you some relief during this difficult time.

I first met Jimmy, i was in high school and had missed my ride home from the roller rink, Jimmy was nice enough to drive me home. Years later when he and CoraLea married we met again and were close friends. I will miss that smile and his laugh. I will miss my friend but i am very blessed to have fond memories with him during our AmVets conventions. Til i see you again friend.

I am sadden by the news of your passing, Jimmy. I had the honor to meet you and be part of the Men's Auxillary at Post 6929. You were a great friend and always had a positive outlook of life.
Jimmy's smile and laughter was contagious. You always found light in every situation.
Coralea you have my deepest sympathy. I know how crazy you folks were about eachother. To his mother in law Mary, he also loved you very much and making sure your house was in tip top shape.
I consider Jimmy one of the best mans I known and a true friend to everyone that knew him. My daughter, Madison, remembers you showed her how to play "Go Fish!" At the local VFW. Thank you for serving our Great Country of The United States of America and our local community. You will be missed my friend. Coralea may God continue to bless you in all your endeavors.
Rest In Peace my friend.
God Bless you and your family.
My deepest condolences,
Lee Trevino, former Sr. Vice President of the VFW Post 6929, and Madison
