James Tar Obituary

Still miss you Big Guy. Kristen, hope life is good and youre still running the shop. Still planning on stopping in there sometime.

Dear Kristen--You and your beloved Jim are still in our thoughts and prayers. Reading over the many tributes and remembrances of Jim, I came to know him a little more--what a good, generous, talented man! I will miss him sitting on the couch at Art On Broad, and on the 1st baseline at the Greenjackets game. But I know that you miss him so much, much more than words can express. Bless you and Jim.

So very sorry to hear of Jim's passing. Enjoyed many talks with him while he was at the museum and I was at the bank. Very few make lasting impressions, but he certainly did. A great guy and a good man!

May the angels above paint the sky and clouds for Kristin and the Tar family in order to give them peace and solice. Jim you will be missed but not forgotten.

Kristin, I am so sorry to hear this news. You are in my thoughts.

I am very saddened to learn of the passing of Jim, Kristen. Please know that I am thinking of you, even though many miles are between us. Frances Wells

Kristin, Although we never met, I am a NJ cousin of Jimmy's who enjoyed many a good time with him in our youth. I think of him often with fond memories. He was always quite the character and his zest for life will live on forever. Please accept my sincere regrets on his passing and you and your family will always be in my thoughts. Lots of love, Linda Francis

Kristin, We are so sorry to learn of Jim's passing. Jim was a one-of-a-kind individual: creative, thoughtful, outspoken, humorous, caring, talented, and most of all your best friend and husband. This is a difficult time in your life as it is forever changed. We are with you in prayer and spirit. Love, Renee & Frank

I met Jim in Oshkosh, WI, in the 1970's and spent a year in Baja, Mexico camping and traveling with him. Times spent with Jim easily represented the extremes of my past social activities and I will miss him. I was sorry to hear about his passing.

I knew Jim in Oshkosh, WI in the 1970's and spent a year with him in Baja, Mexico traveling and camping. Many of the times spent with Jim represent the extremes of my past social life and I will always remember him well. I was very sorry to hear about his passing.

I will always remember traveling the Baja in Mexico with Jim in for six months in 1976. What a great adventure, what fun we had, and what a great guy! Jim was talented, had a dry wit, and was a great friend.

Kristin I was so sorry to hear of your loss. Jim was such a kind and generous man in so many many ways. My prayers and thoughts are with you. May the Lord's perpetual light shine upon him and may his love see you through these most difficult times.

I'm so sad to see this very kind and wonderful person is no longer with us. There'll definitely be an empty spot just behind the home team dugout at Lake Olmstead Stadium. Jim, you'll be dearly missed but never forgotten. Thank you for all the hilarious and great memories.

Dear Kristin, my heart is breaking for you. Love Mary Schorsch

Wishing the family peace of mind as Jim sojourns into the ultimate inspiration for the most dynamic art he will create...

Jim was intensely sweet. I am pretty sure there were a couple of years when he was the only person over 25 my teenager thought cool. Jim always stopped working to hug hello and listen to my latest stories. He loved justice, animals, music, art and, most of all, Kristen. We will miss him and be forever thankful to have called him friend.

Jim, so glad we met in Winchester that fall. Our semester at UK is
historic, as are your many visits to Oshkosh. A lifetime of great
memories. Rest well my friend. Neil V. Oshkosh, WI

Life is way too short. A pleasure to have known Jim ...so kind and kindred soul in his love for animals.

A true and generous friend. Already sorely missed.

We were so very sorry to hear this news. Our thoughts and prayers are with Kristin and the family. The O'Neals

Jim you will forever be in my heart thanks for being such a great friend to my family! I Love You like you were apart of my family.

Jim was the best friend anyone could have. Down to earth, funny, friendly, talented...there just will never be another Jim.

Jim you were like a uncle to me. I am VERY glad to have known you all my life and we will definitely miss you!!
