Ray and I have many fun memories from the ten years that we shared a driveway with Jim and Roxanne in Columbia. We also shared many an evening together at each other’s kitchen tables, sharing stories about our lives, our adventures and our families. Jim’s voice, his stories and his laughter are easy to recall. It was so clear that Roxanne, his kids and grandkids were his top priority, and there were no close seconds. Maybe that explains his light heart and kind nature— he knew what was important to him and that was that. We will continue to miss Jim, and we look forward to seeing Roxanne in the near future..

When I think of Jim, I remember a gentle man who loved his wife, his children, and his grandchildren. Jim was proud of his garden, his flowers and what he could teach his grandchildren about gardening. He and Roxanne carefully constructed a Gramp Camp for each grandchild, maximizing their time and learning experiences with each child. We shared one magical night on the Cape Tour water taxi watching the sun dissolve into the horizon leaving blues that blended into one glorious ocean scape. When I watch the sunset from future Cape Tours, I'll think of Jim, the life he lived and the legacy of a strong family who show up whenever there is a family need.

Jimbo was one of my brothers. I never saw him in any other light. I always admired his brilliant observations. He probably was one of the smartest guys I ever had the opportunity to carry on conversations with.

I am a neighbor of Roxanne and Jim and got to know Jim by taking walks and stopping to talk. We had many long talks and i always found Jim to be an interesting and fascinating man along with being very lighthearted. He always had an unusual perspective and I wanted to hear more.He was a kind and gentle man and I will miss him.

My memories of Jim center around his beloved wife, Roxanne, who was a co-worker and then friend of mine for close to 50 years. There are SO many memories, but Jim was always so gracious and kind, and my spouse, Scott, loved all of their car talks, and maybe some beers! We both admired Jim's devotion to his children, clearly choosing Roxanne, not only for her many fine personal qualities, but most importantly, her potential for being such an excellent mother to Turley, and then later James and Catherine (and as grandmother, too). Gone too soon. Love to all the family. May fond memories connect you to his eternal presence.
