My Brother in law was a funny, kind and generous man. He had a wonderful intellectual wit. I loved the twinkle in his eyes when he delivered his one liners. Then he would reward you with his laughter when he realized you "got it." I will never have another martini without thinking of Jim. When we went on an Alaskan cruise with Janet and Jim, he introduced me to a Gibson Martini (his favorite). I would frequently stay with Janet and Jim in Dana Point and he would always fix me one of those strong drinks. It made his jokes even funnier. Jim was a kind, loving and patient husband to my sister Janet. We welcomed him into our family. Now, we must say Aloha. We love you and will miss you. Susan Ogle and the HIOgles Clan

When I think of Jim I think of food. Great food. He was a wonderful chef. An invite to his house was something to look forward to. I think of humor. Jim could tell and loved a good joke. A little naughty sometimes, but always funny.He made you laugh. I think of calmness. He could stay as smooth as glass even though the emotions were high. He was a bridge over troubled waters for many. I think of my sister and how they loved each other. They were best friends. I think of a kind gentle man who I enjoyed spending time with. I'll miss you Jim. Patty Valentic
