Pam and family: It seems the only time I get to see and visit with you is at a funeral home. It has been years since I have seen you and James. I am a cousin and we always called James, Jamsie, when he was young, of course. I am the daughter of Richard and Ruby Myers. You used to call my Mom a lot and she still lives in Conway. We are so sorry for your loss and know that friends and family are thinking of you and sharing in your grief. Our deepest sympathies, Brenda Myers Franklin, Charleston West Virginia. May God Bless You and Yours.

Dear Pam and Family,

I was so happy to meet you. It was a pleasure working with Jim at Rexnord, playing golf with him and our dinners that we shared so many times at the Tumbleweed in Milwaukee. You probably new me by the nickname Jim gave me. LUCKY ONE---I truly was lucky to have met Jim, worked with him and so much enjoyed his company. I look forward to meeting him on that first tee in the sky and hearing him say LUCKY ONE YOUR ARE NOT RIGHT. God bless and keep you and your family.

Dear Jenkins Family,

I had the pleasure of working with Jim at Rexnord for a few years and I can sincerely say that I enjoyed every minute of it. He would always bring me chocolates to make me smile. He never fooled me...I knew he was a big teddy bear. He will always have a special place in my heart and will be missed greatly.

Dear Pam and Family:
My sincerest sympathies go out to all of you. Jim was such a wonderful man and I truly enjoyed the time that we spent together. I have so many fond memories of working with Jim and the many trips to he and I took together during our time at Rexnord. I continue to tell stories to many people about these trips and all that we accomplished and all the fun that we had doing our assignments (from Milwaukee, to Mexico to China). It was always a great joy to spend time with Jim and to learn from him each and every day. Larry Wiles once called all of us “His Second Best Team” that he ever had but to me we will always be the BEST TEAM EVER. Good bye my dear friend – you will never be forgotten……
