A great and generous family man. An icon. A silent hero. Such a warm and loving family man. I was proud to call him my friend. He is missed.

All my best to Vicky and the rest of the family. Your father was an amazing man who loved you all very much. His love and generosity have left a lasting impression on most he ever met. I am blessed for having a glimpse of what you got to enjoy every day he was alive. Even though I found out months later, my thoughts and prayers for a future full of happiness and wonderful memories are with you tonight.

I would like to offer sincere sympathy to Jim's family and friends. I also worked at West for many years and Jim ALWAYS stopped to talk to me, whether at work or wherever I saw him and no matter who he was with or what he was doing. He was one of the kindest, most well-liked and respected men I have known.

Mr. Lindell was a first class person. When I worked at SVCC he was more than than just a regular golfer, he was "class" at its finest. Too bad there were not millions of people like him. May he rest in peace.

Missy.Jason,Linda,Gerald John (as Vicki used to say!)Marty,Jimmy,Vicki,Grant - I wish each of you a big hug, and my tears.I am so sad I couldn't overcome work conflicts today to be there with all of you, and shed our tears, but also celebrate the life of one the truly great men that I have been fortunate to know in my life.Each and everyone of you is a living tribute to the legacy of JG,and I know that of all the things he accomplished in life pale in comparison to the love he had for all of you, including all of those grandkids. I know the struggle was long and sad. May God rest Jim's soul, and help all of you to the happy memories. Love,Matt

It's hard to articulate the impact and influence Jim had on me and so many others. He was incisive and so skilled at business and personal relationships. He had my utmost respect and I am honored to have known him.
