Craig Peak wrote a sympathy message

“Jim knows how to live life at its fullest. I can give a list a mile long of things that Jim did and was but the biggest most valuable is "my friend". Always there when I needed him and there were many times that I did. I pray for the family and friends. I just close my eyes and open my heart and think of him and he's there. Keep on jammin my brother and please save me a spot on that stage. We'll blow the dust outta the clouds when I get there! If the family needs me John knows where I am.”
