Very sad, it was always enjoyable to run across Jim at the Nationals.

I don't know too many people who have had such a profound influence on so many.

Not a single person had a bad thing to say about our friend Jimmy B. Not one.

I think that is a testament to how our Buddhist professor lived his life, and I should be so lucky that just a bit of that rubbed off on me. I miss my dear friend....

I'm a guy that never forgets the limited time I have. I enjoy every minute with my son. Jim's passing has touched me in many ways but especially when I look at my son. An extra hug and sweet smile for him, an extra moment of thought and an extra moment of gratitude for everything in my life.

Thank you, Jim.
