Dear Pat,
Thank you so much for letting us know of Jim's passing. Such a heart break for us to hear that you've lost your #1 dance partner. We loved spending time with both of you. Jim's humor and twinkle in his eye are what we'll remember most. He was so much fun. Please know we are with you in spirit.
Love and hugs,
Robyn and Karl
What a great life he had with you Pat and all of his loving family! I hope that memories and love will help give you strength during this time of sadness. You two were an inspiration to the rest of us out on the dance floor showing us how it was done - with skill and love.
Hugs to you!

Jim was a real gentleman and a lot of fun. Jim dancing with Pat was a special treat for us at CLLA meetings as was their wit and companionship. Julia and I will miss Jim and want to give our sincerest condolences to Pat and family. Friends are forever.

I am so sorry to here about Jim's passing. Pat, I send my thoughts and prayers to you. You and Jim were one of the first people I met at the CLLA and I always enjoyed my time with both of you. Take care and we will be thinking of you in this trying time. Lauri Hudson
Sorry to hear of your passing. You were a big help to us at Collier Construction Company. We also remember Albert J. Sanders who introducted you to us and we all worked together to resolve problems or improvements necessary for so many years. I saw your smiley face in the obits and said I know that guy. So sorry to hear of your passing and you will be so fondly remembered always. Peter Jensen Collier Construction Company
So sorry for your loss. Jim will be missed by all who called him friend. He was truly one of the good guys. Deepest sympathy from Jim and Bobbie.
A most wonderful, and respected colleague in the legal community who will be missed by all who know him. If only I could dance and throw darts like he did in his 80's ! He will be missed by all who knew him- a person of integrity and respect- I never knew until I read his obituary that he was an engineer of some accomplishment but in his humble way, this accomplishment was left to posterity. Good bye great friend and our sincere sympathy to Patricia and family - many great memories, will not soon be forgotten!, And, Pat, hang in there, you have a wonderful, loving family and friends for support,
God Bless,
Bill & Sylvia Hohmann
Our deepest sympathy to Pat and family for your terrible loss. Jim was such a wonderful guy. We have so many fond memories of the fun times we shared through the years.
