It has been 15 years or so since I had a "cool one" with Jim and I remember it like it was yesterday. Jim touched a lot of people and I am proud to say I was one of them. Not too many people will get as much done in 74 years as Jim did. "Guys Guys" are getting harder and harder to find!! May God Bless the family.
Sincerest wishes, John & Linda Yale

Jim;; you are such a loss my dear friend. This world will be a duller place without your infectious laugh and your generous heart. My only consulation is that Dwight will welcome his good friend, and Carolyn and I will have two angels to watch over us. Give Dwight a hug for me and you too stay out of trouble until Carolyn and I get there.

Mr. Dixion and his two son...... Fiercest fishing team out of the Coronado Cays. Enjoyed the competition, camaraderie between the boats, and all of the memories. Thank you for making me strive to be better at my craft.

So sorry for your lose. As a widowed owner of property on Victory I called Jimmy several times for help with situations I needed his opinion on. He was always gracious and willing to give me advice without making me feel I was being a bother. I could always count on him.
