You were my friend first, and a good friend always. You became my brother and no one could ask for a better one. Always caring, always loving. We need a lot more men like you in the world Jim. I couldn't be at your funeral, but my heart and thoughts were surely there as I know you know. This world isn't a better place without you bro, but I feel comfort in knowing you are no longer suffering. God Bless you Jim. You were there for so many, and may you be truly blessed. I love you my friend and Brother.

My condolences to the Roberson family. Camping with all of you was always so much fun and Jim was always a big part of that. So many good memories. My thoughts are with all of you right now. Jim was such a good friend to my dad through camping, darts, and just hanging out. He wants you to know he is thinking of you too.

My heartfelt sympathy to all the family. I took a moment to love and reflect on cousin Jimmy on Monday . His beautiful eyes and impish grin came along with memories of our younger days at the house on Tremont, and camping at Wildwood and other places. Although we have not seen too much of each other since I moved west, you are all in my heart always. namaste Jimmy

Jim you will be sadly missed by many and forgotten by few. "Please forgive me for my loss of words at this time. I will be praying for the family. I like to believe that when we lose someone close to us they still live through us and give us strength. The time you have spent with those you've lost makes them part of you." Please stay strong knowing you are loved and have the support of friends and family. I love you if you need anything please let me know.. My condolences.
