"Dear LaNette

My sincere condolences to you on the passing of Jim. You and Jim were always there to care for my mother. Better next door neighbors could not be found.

May God bless you at this time."

"Skilled. Talented. Knowledgeable. Honest, Trustworthy. Dedicated. Helpful. Hard Worker. Cheerful. Generous. Kindhearted. Christian. Technological Wizard. And above all A GOOD MAN and a LIFELONG FRIEND. These qualities I have come to know in the fifty plus years I have known Jim since J.R. Electronics opened and I became the Media Director at Fremont Senior High. There was not a piece of Audio-Visual Equipment that Jim could not repair. And then he met the challenge of the world of computer technology. His knowledge of both hardware and software was incredible. AND, for us old folks, HE MADE HOUSE CALLS. His phone # is attached to our PC's monitor, and is the first one called when Myrna has a problem. LaNette, the world has been a better place with your Jim in it. Please know that we extend our sympathy and share in your loss. Jim will be missed, but he will not be forgotten."
