Rusty Gage wrote a sympathy message

“Dear Joan, Since retiring, I have lost touch with so many wonderful People, I just learned last night of Jim's passing and I wanted you to know how Special Jim and yourself are to me. I always looked forward to seeing you at the office and made sure I got a wave from you both when I passed by your house on my motorcycle. A more Patriotic Family such as yours is hard to come by, and I am Honored to be your Friend. Jim and I always joked that we are probably related! Peace and love to Him and His”
