    Jim was a good and fine human being. He grew up here in Midland, Texas, and was warm, friendly, popular, and enjoyed by those who had the pleasure of knowing him. Godspeed Jim. You are gone much too soon. Your great smile and laughter will always be missed.

    Jimmy T as a friend and business associate in the oil business in Denver in the early 80's. Full of spirit and not the least bit conventional, he chased his calling and made success of it. See you on the other side Jim!

    I met Jim while on a snowski trip to Taos in 1993. As soon as we met, it was as if we had known each other our entire lives. For the following 6 years we kept in touch long distance, and spent time together as often as possible. Conversations with Jim were exhilerating and his smile captivating. I will always cherish the time we spent together and will never forget his warm spirit. I often think of you Jim, and know that one day we'll meet again. Rest in peace my dear friend..
