  • Patrick Sommerfeld I know everyone is thinking the same thing as me; how could someone so full of life be taken from us so young. But then I remember this was JIM!!! I swear he lived each year on this earth in dog years!!! Though he left us too soon, I'm glad I had the pleasure of knowing a man who lived his life every single day exactly the way he wanted to. I live my life vicariously through Jim and this is a simple pleasure that I will miss. His adventures and misadventures made me laugh and cry but never let me left me bored. There was a saying among Jim's friends at B.P./Amoco that summed up Jim beautifully; "That's Dudley being Dudley". If we could all live life as true to ourselves as Jim did, maybe we would all enjoys ourselves and each other a little more. Rest in peace Jim and quit trying to charm St Peter!!! You're already in!!! We will miss you at B.P.!!!! Pat S.
  • Mike I worked with Jim years ago but no longer am a electrician. How did he die. How old are his kids ??
  • Evelyn Ebert Jim, I am going to miss you. I will always remember your positive attitude no matter what would be happening at the time. I'll remember our talks when we would give each other advice or when we'd discuss our faiths respectfully. You were always a hard worker and could be depended on for anything. Family members and other close friends, stay strong, and know that he is at rest now. His love was deep for you and wil live on in all of your lives.
  • Carol Gunnell Jim, I am SO sad that you are gone & that we will never do all the things we had planned. You were a wonderful man with a HUGE heart & made me feel like a queen. No man has ever treated me as great as you did. I will miss your beautiful smile, crazy sense of humor and us going out dancing, I will always think of you when I hear "our song". It is so unfair that your daughters will grow up without you, I know they were your world. You were great with kids - mine loved you too! I am just so mad that I was not here when you dropped off the wine & flowers on Monday. Who could have imagined you'd be gone 10 hrs. later??? This is all so senseless, you had so much more living to do.You will always have a place in my heart & I thank you for loving me & getting me to trust & love again. I will miss you terribly. I love you! Carol
  • Carol Gunnell Jim, I am so sad that you are gone & we will not be able to do all the things we had planned. You were a wonderful man with a HUGE heart and you treated me better than any man ever did. My kids even liked you! You made me feel like a queen and am greatful for the time we did have together. You taught me to love & trust again & I am so sorry I was not here when you dropped off the wine & roses on Monday. Who would've known you would be gone less than 10 hrs later. SO not fair you are not here for your daughters - they will miss your love, smile & sense of humor, as will I. May you find peace in Heaven - you will no longer be in pain here. Whenever I hear our song, I'll be thinking of you. I will miss you terribly & you will always have a place in my heart. I love you! Carol
