Dear Mollie and Family, So sorry to hear of Jim's passing. I was so thankful to have him as a friend and classmate. I couldn't wait for our class lunches so Jim and I could go outside after lunch and tell each other the latest jokes that we had heard. (and believe me, there were some really good ones!) Cheryl and I send our deepest sympathy and are lifting you all up in our prayers.

Jim has been a life long friend from riding with him to school in his "Half Fast" Chevy which was anything but half fast, to his adventures in boating, horses, and racing. Jim was a straight talking person who was respected for his prowess on anything mechanical be it a tractor, semi, go cart, dirt track, or your family car or truck. His humor and keen insight will be greatly missed. RIP Jim.

My deepest sympathy to Mollie and family. I will always have fond memories of Jim. In school, he teased me like a brother. He was a good guy and full of fun!

I always enjoyed seeing Jim at the races. I competed against his cars at Eldora Speedway in the early 2000's; they were hard to beat.
Jim was always very kind and helpful. He had a passion for racing, and he wore that passion well.
Godspeed, Jim ... the Victory is yours Forever.

Dear Molly and Family, Gary and I have known Jim for such a long long time....snowmobiling, boating, and camping. The memories go way back and all fun times. Gary now has another good friend in heaven with him. I can see them and hear them now with Jim's memorable laugh and Gary just smiling at what all is being said to each other.
Molly, my heart goes out to you and the kids, and know I feel your pain. Grieve however you want to grieve, that is the only way you will get through all of this. Take care and know I am sending the greatest of love, concern , and sympathy for you. They tell me the sorrow and pain gets softer as time goes on.....and I know it will, but right now, the pain and sorrow is too real. Love to you,
