My students and I always enjoyed it when Jim came to my class to speak about aviation and especially his work on the Apollo program. We also always had a great time at the EAA museum with him as our tour guide. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
I'm so sorry to get this news. I can't imagine what you are going through. There are no words, so instead I will send love and hope and prayers ...
Peace be with you! May Jim rest in peace and rise in glory!
Sending love and hugs. ❤️

I will not be able to attend the service for Jim but know that you are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. Jim was someone very special and we will miss his smile and gentle manner.
We first met at memory cafe...you were so friendly and welcoming I think it’s why we continued to attend. Jim and Bill connected and seemed to enjoyed each other’s company . They hashed over days gone by and we discussed our new situations. I am so happy to have made his acquaintance if only for a short time. I’ll remember him with fondness and be thinking of you in the days to come. Bill was genuinely sad when I showed him Jim’s obit. What an accomplished life!
You are in our hearts, dear! Jim was a wonderful man, smart, kind, loving; so devoted to you. We are blessed to have known him. We wish you peace and comfort in the days ahead.
In Christ,
Paul & Robin Holte
He enjoyed airplanes very much and we have pictures of our son in the cockpit of his plane.
He was a believer in our Lord Jesus Christ and we will be together again in Heaven when God calls me there.
Praise the Lord for Christian family!!
Godspeed and blessings as you remember your beloved ...
Judy, may God's peace be with you and your family.
