Heaven gained a big angel and I lost a great friend. Zelda and family, my prayers and thoughts are with you all. Jim was a person that loved his family more than anything else in his world. We shared many good times and a lot more laughs. I will remember Jim for his caring and helping way of life that he lived. RIP big man.

Just learned of Jim’s passing and am deeply saddened. I have fond memories of getting to know him and competing against his teams while I was at Arapaho Junior High, then at Riverton High School. Later, I enjoyed becoming reacquainted when he came to Star Valley to watch his own daughter, Hannah. I will remember him as a loving family man and a quality person. Prayers and condolences to his family.
