  3. My deepest condolences to this grieving family. I am David Forbes; one of the colleagues Jim worked with at St. Louis University. Although we only knew each other briefly, I enjoyed our conversations. Jim had a calm and pleasant personality. And a sharp sense of humor as well. “Earth has no sorrow that heaven can not heal. Be blessed and comforted family.

  7. Everyone at the Gateway Volvo Club is deeply saddened to learn of Jim’s passing. Jim was the founder of the local chapter back in the 1980s and was the current Treasurer. His love of Volvos was second to none, having traveled to Sweden to visit the factory and take delivery of a new Volvo on at least three occasions. He drove each of this Volvos several hundred thousand miles before even considering moving on to the next one.

    He was also an avid cyclist.

    We will miss him greatly.

  9. My deepest condolences to Jim’s family. I met Jim years ago through Hosteling International. We walked many an enjoyable long distance with our group. Jim was such great company. I was always envious of his many hiking/biking trips abroad. I think the last time I saw him was at a Galloping Gourmet get-together before COVID shut us down. He will be missed.

    Please let me know the date of the service.

  21. Jim and I met through bicycling, he was the truck driver for many years in Michigan for the West Shoreline Tour and the MUP (Michigan Upper Peninsula) Tour. In addition to the truck driving tasks Jim also was a terrific social director and always successfully made our dinner arrangements.
    As a former Missouri person myself, I stayed at Jim’s house on several occasions on my trips to Missouri, or through the city. When visiting my daughter in Kirkwood we always met for breakfast or lunch and covered all the Michigan news and bicycling of course.
    In 2013 Jim traveled by train to Jefferson City, picked up my vehicle and drove it back to Kirkwood while my brother and I bicycled to St. Charles on the Katy Trail.
    Jim was a wonderful friend and companion. I loved our times together, and will surely miss him greatly.
