A friend wrote the following:

"I have nothing but good things to say about that man whom I adored. He was my neighbor, my choir director, a fellow church member, and a good friend. His laugh, his jokes, and his great stories will never be forgotten. He was a Christian man who didn't just talk the talk but always walked the walk in his everyday life. I hope you fill Heaven with the music of your velvety smooth voice, Jim!! You will be missed by so, so many."
