It's been just a few short months but, it feels like a life time. Sense the day we first met you were such an inspiration. I will always appreciate the ten months that i had the privlage of knowing you. You taught me so much about kindness and honor. You were definitely unique you not only cared about California's two legged residents, you also greatly cared for the four legged Citizens as well. 75 mary 7 ride the cloads and protect the heavens.

We want you to know that our prayers and thoughts are for you and your loved ones. We grieve over the lives lost in the line of duty. I hope you can find some comfort knowing that there are countless prayers that go out for your family.

Jim, you are, and will continue to be greatly missed. Your attitude was always positive and upbeat, and is an inspiration to us all. You were more than willing and eager to handle calls on your way into work to allow the graveyard shift to go home on time, and although we may not have told you how much we appreciated it, your efforts and willingness to go above and beyond did not go un-noticed. Thank you for everything you did as a member of the CHP. You will not be forgotten. God bless and God speed.

Your life has touched us all and you will not be forgotten. Motor For Life!

Dearest Patty, family, brothers and sisters of the badge, Jim was such a dear friend to myself and all the other Ga. Troopers on the 1996 tourch relay. Jim, you and Steve bacame like my big brothers, and I am so heavy hearted to have not been able to be there for your family and friends. I was trapped on St.Simons Island because of the G8 summit.

Jim,

It wasn't until the day of your funeral I really knew who you were. I went to the funeral because you are CHP family. When I arrived at "The Rock" I recognized your photo. I'll never forget the day you came to Barstow during an M.E.P. weekend and you ran out of 215's and it was about 110 degrees. During the heat, you were still cranking out the tickets and I can't believe you ran out. After I brought you another cite book, you asked this boot, (me) with barely four years on the job to go have coffee with you. I was floored because I had never even met you. I don't even have coffee with the guys in the office that have 10 years on the job and I know them. I will never forget your face.
Take Care.
