Jim,  You are going to be deeply missed by your pickleball family in Greeley,  Your friendly, cheerful good-natured demeanor helped to create a great atmosphere for pickleball and life.  Peace be with you.

I cherish my memories of growing up small town and having Jim Cooley down the street, many high school ball games and motorcycle riding days together. Deepest Condolences to Jim’s family and friends and my thoughts and prayers are with Jim and Theresa’s families at this time. RIP Jim!💔🙏

Dear Jim
Bill and I will dearly miss you. We loved hearing your endearing laughter and smile. You made pickleball so much fun. May you find peace. You were a true and loyal friend.

Thank you Jimbo for being a great friend and coworker throughout the years. Good times at the power plant, camping on the Appalachian Trail, dirt bike riding, road trip vacations, tennis games, helping with our home build. We loved your gentle speaking stories and you were the best listener we ever knew.

Love you always Papa Jim thank you for being such a positive influence on my life and teaching me how to become a man at a young age.

Jim,
You make this world a much better place. Your awareness, thoughtfulness, and competitiveness give us a positive role model to follow. Your influence on us will always be remembered. 

“This is not goodbye, Jim, this is thank you.”
