Jim,once asked me if I would miss him when he was gone. I told him,"Yes, who else would come around and aggravate me. He understood that I did not say it in a mean way

During the ten years I was Chief Registrar for the Central Florida Region of SCCA, Jim and Nancy were there at every Sebring Club race working and helping out at Registration. Jim was a true race fan, a loyal club member for 20 years, and a good friend to all. RIP Jim. You will never be forgotten. God Bless.

I will always remember Jim as fun loving enjoying life with friends and the love of his life Nancy. He was always there to lend a hand, a smile or a joke. He was taken too soon, but we will always have memories to treasure. God Bless and may God keep you safe till we all meet again.

Nancy, I loved seeing the wonderful gallery of pictures you have posted and thinking of the numerous chats I had with Jim at the track. I will not forget the meaningful visit we had about 2 years ago at the rehab center and Jim's faith and trust in His Savior. I know God has given him a completely new "building from God, a house not made with human hands, eternal in the heavens" as contrasted with the "earthly tent" he lived in (his body) - taken from the Apostle Paul's description of his aging and ill body. God bless you!

Nancy, my dear friend. You were a wonderful wife to Jim. He loved you and you both had so much fun together. Even though it was hard for Jim to get around he never stopped going. He was so sweet and I loved visiting with him when I saw him. He always would say something about my old boyfriend but he was my new boyfriend and I will truely miss him. Please know I am here for you and I'm only a phone call away always, day or night. You are so positive and I hope you continue going to GBC. Keeping you in my prayers! Jackie
