Dear Margaret – My most sincere condolences to you and the family on your loss. I was so sad to hear it and know that Jim was a fine man to inspire you to fight so hard to help him. Peace be with you. Love from Janice and Karl
RIP Jim ! Thanks for all the words of wisdom you bestowed on me and I’m sure many others.
In one’s lifetime, an accumulation of joy, sadness, growth, loss, etc., occur and Jim was all of that for me and a major milestone. If I had not at one point become Mrs. James M. Hatter, (as was Ruth and dear Margaret) my life would have been lived in a tepid, semi-conscious state. However, Jim opened my eyes to the myriad avenues a life can take and the spiritual path was awakened in me. We became and continued a close friendship and my condolences to all of us, his friends and family, who have lost him from this dimension but we can rest assured that we will join him in the next.

I met Jim some years ago now when I came to visit Margaret in Memphis. I hadn’t seen Margaret for years, and was a little surprised when she said we’d be joined by a friend of hers for much of my stay…but instantly I was hit and embraced with Jim’s personality…he started talking to me like we’d known each other all our lives I knew I’d met someone more full of life than I was accustomed to. It’s an honor to have gotten to know that special guy.-Craig Gillespie Frederick, Maryland
