Dear Sophia,
My mom told me the news about your dad. My condolences to you, Sam, and your mom. From your old Clifton friend, Katie

Dear Sam and Sophia,
I still cannot find the words for how stunned and saddened I am. Judson and I loved and always viewed your dad as family. He was an amazing father, grandfather and friend. Life will never be the same, but my life was such a better place because your dad was in it. Thank you. I will forever miss him. All my love and condolences, Hillary

I am so sorry to hear this. Jim was a brilliant and unique man who cared deeply for his family and friends. The world will be a different place without him in it.

My deepest sympathy to all who loved Jim. I will always remember him at soccer games with our children. He was such a kind man.

His consistent support and counsel were more important than I can adequately express. His death is a terrible loss to those he counted as friends.

He was a brother to Eva and I. An Uncle to Hillary. A major part of our lives is gone.

I haven't seen Jim for many years, but remember him to be a truly vibrant, very sexy guy who definitely lived life to its fullest. I know he will be sorely missed. My deepest sympathies to his children and to his brother, Mike.
