Jim was a kind man. I had the honor of meeting him through VSQMA . Jim  was always there to lend a welcomed hand.  During a summer race series my son's car was taken apart to be rebuilt, Jim  was upset that we didn't have a car to run. Jim kindly offered is the use of his blue car.  My son Austin and I will never forget that summer. That's just one of many stories I have of Jim.

Love an miss u Uncle Jim. So glad we got to come down last year to see the family. I'll never forget my childhood days with Aunt Joan an Uncle jim an Jess. Prayers for the family.

I met Jim when I was 5 years old. He was a father to me. He showed me how to work hard and play even harder, He showed me how to love my spouse through better or worse and he showed me how to love my children through the love he showed Jennifer and Jessica. Jim helped mold me into the person I am today and I could never thank him enough. He will always be that little voice in the back of my head and I know whatever advice comes from it is right. Rest in peace Jim.

I will never forget meeting you 44 years ago and thinking you were a fun person to be around.  I was so right.  I don't care what my mother says we are related in some way.  You were like a brother to me.  Sometimes I would be so mad at you but I just couldn't stay mad at you.  We did so much growing up together.  Then you became a family man.  I know how much you loved Joan, Jessica and Jennifer. Our families had many good times together.  We love you and will always remember those times. Thank you for being in my life. I can't imagine my life if I had never met you.  Because of you I know Joan who now is "my dearest friend". Joan, Jessica and Jennifer you are in my thoughts during this difficult time.  Love you, Carol, Thomas and MaryLinda

When I think of Jim, a few things that come to mind are how hard he worked, and how much he obviously loved his family. So many winters hearing Jim's truck fire up so early in the morning that it wasn't even light outside yet. A truly admirable work ethic, and a man willing to do whatever it took to take care of his family. On top of everything he did for his family, he took time on many occasions to help my family as well. He was truly a selfless individual. 
My funniest memory of Jim was a time that my brother and I spent two days working on my broken down Camaro and could not figure out what to do next. Jim saw us struggling from his garage, came out and asked us what we were having trouble with. Not 10 minutes later Jim has my car running great and on the road again. Ill never forget the look on his face after schooling us. Thanks for everything Jimbo, it was an absolute honor to know you. RIP

RIP JIM  may GOD be with your family always and forever. You will never be forgotten!

Jim was my neighbor and friend for over 20 years.  He was always very good to me and my family.  I remember one Thanksgiving when the pipe broke in my kitchen and Jim came over to take a look.  He told me he could fix it but it would take a day of so, but he said "I'm sure Joan won't mind if you have Thanksgiving with us" and we did.  That is only one of the memories I have of Jim and of course Joan being there for my family.  He will be dearly missed. Rest in peace Jim.

It is so hard to find a way to express thoughts that words can never say.
We want to comfort you with peace and our prayers.

Val & Jim   (Gold Canyon, AZ)

This is such sad news and it breaks my heart to know that my cousin Jim is gone. I have not seen him for some time, but I can say that he has always been a part of my life. I think back and remember as a child spending time with him. Many of my favorite childhood memories included him. I remember the camping trips. I remember the times we played in the desert. I remember the last time I seen him. It was just prior to me joining the Navy and going to boot camp. We had dinner at Applebee's. There are so many other memories, I could truly go on. I say all this because although you are gone Jim, you will always be a part of this world through the people you influenced and the memories you helped create in each one of us. Thank you for giving such wonderful experiences and memories. My families love, thoughts and prayers are with you as you transition to heaven. God bless you and all those you left behind! You will be missed!

Jim is a "Good Man", always will be.  Certainly in my top ten.  I am honored to spend a few years with Jim and his family.  It ain't over yet, the green flag will drop in a new venue.

I will always love you Uncle Jim. You always made me laugh and brought joy to our family.

Joan, Will and I were so heartbroken to hear of Jim's passing.  Many of our fondest, greatest and most fun times racing were when Christopher was racing the Legend.  Oh my gosh we had some good times in Tucson at the track and at the Red Roof Inn!  Then back to your house to re-watch the race and the fun continued.  We love you and have thought of those time often!  Love, Sharon, Will and Christopher.

Jim Link one of my favorite people. He was one of a kind. There were times in our lives when we went years not seeing each other, but when we did it was like we'd seen each other everyday. He was that genuine of a person. You always knew where you stood with him and if not he would be glad to tell you! I have so many good memories, I feel like a small part of my childhood went with him. There was never a doubt about his love for Joan and his girls. Thank you Lord for giving him to us,wish he could have stayed longer, but that's your plan. Love & prayers to all he touched. Miss you cuz!

Sending our thoughts and prayers to your entire family from our family! The Gannis Family

Joan, Jessica and Jennifer,  God's peace to you in this difficult time. You are our family and if you need anything let me know. Love you, Tracey.

Joan, Jessica, Jennifer, Kenny, Joker, Bill, Larry and Billy: We are thinking of you guys after hearing of Jim's passing. -Troy and Molly McConnell

Love you Uncle Jim! You will be truly missed!

My prayers go out to all of you. He was a good friend and neighbor. We had some excellent times together. Larry sends his condolences too. R.I.P. my friend!

You will be missed more than words can say, there are so many memories that I will cherish in my heart maybe share someday, say hi to mom for me and give her and gma kisses, I love you my uncle bumb
