Christian Huddleston wrote a sympathy message

“Jimmy was a delight to know from my student employee days at Kramer Dining center in Manhattan Kansas! I recall meeting him in the dishroom at Kramer. His enthusiasm and sense of humor were contagious and an inspiration in the late 1980s. I could say I learned lots from him in how to approach people and enjoy their company. He was a delight to know.”
