John Gladding wrote a sympathy message

“Uncle Jim was a great man. He had an infectious personality - always with a great sense of humor, and great stories. He made everyone in the room feel special, and was one of the most kind and generous people I've ever met. I didn't see him often due to our distance, but I always looked forward to visiting him. We'll miss you Uncle Jim!”

““In loving memory: May the families be comforted by the outpouring of love surrounding all of you. Uncle Jim was a true treasure with love, affection, and laughter surrounding the family. We were blessed to have known our cousins and Aunts and Uncles. I am thankful for Uncle Jim showing me NYC at night, and us being able to celebrate our wedding with a boat ride in SF Bay. We have all been blessed with a man that had such strong character and love. God Bless you Uncle Jim. We love you! xoxo””
