We remember how Jim and Susan welcomed us to Ames many years ago. We became good friends playing bridge, sharing birthday celebrations and many evenings together. We were saddened by the premature passing of Susan and Kim but delighted that Jim found so much happiness with Pat. He will long be remembered in our hearts.
Dear Pat,
We all lost a wonderful man. It was a privilege and honor to know Jim. We are so sorry and our thoughts are with you and your family.

I never learned to know Jim since moving to Ames, but his obituary was a fine biography of his life. He was educated and an educator having given much to ISU. His work in the civic arena of life was important as he contributed his time and energy to the work of MGMC as well as the formation of the Israel Family Hospice House. Pat, my sincere sympathy to you and your family.
I will miss Jim terribly. I was so saddened to hear of his passing. Jim was a good man. I came to know Jim through my employment at Northridge Village. Jim was one of my favorite residents there. I used to sit with him and talk about his work and his family. When I left Northridge, Jim was adamant about exchanging phone numbers. I checked in on him as I could and he was always so excited to hear from me. He was always asking if he could be of any help, which was very thoughtful and kind of him. I will miss our conversations greatly.
