My name is Dr Bal Moore. I was Randy Snows coach before he passed. I was at the tennis tournament there each year in Cincinnati and taught wheelchair tennis at the same time. 
Marcha and I would spend time with Traci and Jim  during  that time.  Jim was a good  wheelchair tennis player and a great friend   
If you have Traci’s telephone number I would like to get it as I would like to give her a call. 
Sincerely, Dr. Bal Moore. 715 362-1296.

We lived next to the Rackett family for several years and knew Jim as a young boy and as a teenager. He was such a nice person. We were so sad to learn of his passing. It appears that he had a lovely wife and sons. He continued to live a life that was productive, full of experiences, and made a difference to others. Our condolences to all the family.

    I just want to express my gratitude to Jim + his lovely family.  They have always been kind to me + Jim always seemed to keep a positive outlook on life with it's many twists + turns.
  I feel your loss + my heart breaks for you.

Jim is in our Lord's warm arms now.
  I imagine my two sisters, husband + Mom greeting him in Heaven.
   Traci, Kiler, Cayden....if you see this, please always remember his great love for you.

Rackett, we called Jim mostly by his last name, will always be a huge inspiration.  He set a very high bar with his positive attitude, as if he never had a disability. Amazing!

Jim was a big Dan Marino fan. In the early 1990’s Jim visited Dave Jauch and I, who were living in south Florida. While out at a bar we “borrowed” a nice poster of Dan Marino. I remember that over the years Jim would have his annual billiards tournament and, there would be Dan Marino in his new home.  Probably on the wall near Spuds Mackenzie. I wonder where Spuds came from? 

Very sorry 
Love you Rackett
Spike

With Deepest Sympathy to  Traci, Kyler, Caden,  so sorry about Jim. No words can can take your pain away at this point. But you are in the thoughts of so many and prayers during this time.   Praying for you all.

I will always remember Jim at the soccer fields… cheering the kids on, helping coach when needed, smiling and cheering them in when they did so well, firm and loud when they were horsing around too much. That was a long time ago when all our boys were so young but he was such a great role model for the boys he left a long lasting impression.  He was a very caring man and it showed. I’m so sorry for your loss. Know that he will always be with you and watching over you with love.

Sending Prayers to the Family in this time of sadness and grief of the loss of James.


I'm heartbroken.  Worked with Jim his whole career in Industrial Engineering at AK. My best buddy.  Always talked about his family and how much he cared for and loved them. My deepest condolences. 

Sending loads of prayers and healing energy to the family. I knew Jim when we were teenagers. He was one of my best buddies until I moved. He was a great guy with the biggest heart. RIP Buddy!

Traci and family,

Our hearts were broken when we heard the news of Jim passing.  We always enjoyed our time with you both, and Jim was such a great guy.

I feel like we were given that fun night in October as a final happy memory to say goodbye and remember Jim in a positive way.

Our prayers will continue for you and your family as you go through this difficult time.  May you find strength and peace in the happy memories you shared.

We love you guys.

Lisa and Joe Luckey

Ohhh Traci I am so sorry.
My deepest  sympathy to you and your boys.



You were/are a great man, father, husband, and friend to all who knew you and even to all who only spoke a few words with you. No matter how hard we clashed we always settled arguements with a dumb joke and an apology followed by a hug talking about how stupid it was for us to disagree, I mean we are practically the same person how could we disagree. I mean the two absolute geniuses we are putting in radiators and bleeding break lines ended up taking 3x as long as it should’ve because both of us were too stubborn to listen to the other one. I was driving around clearing my head and man the sunset today, you would’ve loved it so much, I got my phone out to call you just from the habit. I love you man neither of us were perfect, but that didn’t stop you from being the best dad Cayden and I could’ve asked for. I love you I know I’ll see you again someday.(Let’s hope it’s not too soon, I’ll work on keeping the Tib on the road instead of a ditch at least until I’m done at UD) (Speaking of which I wanted to tell you I’m going to be terrorizing the UDPud for the next four or so years in person but this will have to do)

I love you dad forever and always

 I was so saddened to hear of your husband’s passing. There are no words to express how sorry I am for your loss.

Deepest sympathy,
Kris

enjoyed working with Jim prior to and during the MDP project at AK.
Rest in peace.



Mark C. Donais

Traci and Family, 
Mark and I are so heartbroken with Jim's death.  We are so glad we had the opportunity to spend some time with you both at the lake last month.  
You and the boys and all who love Jim are in our thoughts and in our prayers.  
We pray that the Lord will wrap you in his loving mercy and give you peace.  
Much love...
LeeAnn and Mark Diekhoff
