I’ve known Jim through the Candlelight Group for all the years he has been coming. He was one of the most gentle, kind, patient, and humble men I know, also one of the funniest. We miss him so much. It’s hard to see his chair now empty at the meetings or not to see him bustling around making coffee. He was quiet but when he spoke everyone listened because it was always worthwhile whatever he had to say. He had much wisdom. To his daughters, I met you at the funeral. We would love to hear from you and would also welcome you to come to the Candlelight Group some Fri. night and spend some time with the people that so loved your dad. Please contact me any time.

My thoughts are of you for your loss of your father. I knew Jim through his volunteer work. I so admired his quiet presence and humble manner as he went about serving others daily.

I wish you the greatest consolation during this sad time. I work at the Library – one of the many places Jim volunteered – and I can’t begin to describe what an impact that quiet, gentle and intelligent man made on me. The way he lived and most especially the integrity he maintained while facing his own mortality will be with me forever.

I know he has left a hole here that no one will be able to fill. I miss him every day when I go by the desk where he worked.He brought a great deal to our organization and to me personally. My deepest sympathy at the passing of this great man. Patricia Sternberg, Lewis & Clark Library
