We were so sorry to hear about Jim. We are his friends from Iowa who loved to play tennis with Jim (Rhode Island Jim) in Florida. His great sense of humor and his love for the game of tennis was a treasure to us all. He is now home with his heavenly Father and we will always treasure the memories we made in Florida with Jim. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family. Love, Denny and Kaye Price – Spencer, Iowa
Please except our deepest condolences and our sincere sympathy for your loss.

We are so sorry to hear of Jims passing.
He was one of the best, and heaven received a great guy.
We have such fond memories of Jimmy on the tennis court in Florida, and times spent visiting analyzing the games at the trailer. Dale especially will miss his Patriots buddy.
We will pray for strength for you at this sad time.
Love Dale and Judy cutting
Barb and family ,
We were so sad to hear about Jim. We have so many fond memories of you both, here in Florida. We looked forward to seeing you both each winter, and when we visited RI. He will be greatly missed by all! I will make sure to cheer extra during the Pats football games in memory of him and his love of the team! Our thoughts and prayers are with your family, and Spike, during this time of sorrow.
Hugs and prayers to you all,

So sorry to hear of your fathers passing Jim. He seemed to be very proud of your accomplishments in life. He was your #1 fan when it comes to tennis. I watched him cheer you on at many tournaments. He enjoyed seeing your consistent improvement over the years. I met him a few times and he was a true gentleman.
