Jimmy, you have left a big void in my heart. I will miss our many late night chats. Our deep conversations will be forever engraved in my heart. I will treasure all the e-mails you sent me. I will tell the children all the funny pranks you pulled and how you brought laughter to the whole world, even me, when all I wanted to do was cry for my mom. I love you Jimmy, Vaya con Dios!

We were so sad to hear about the loss of "funny grandpa" as Emery calls him. The playground at Coronado will never be the same. We always enjoyed talking with him and watching him chase all the kids. I know my kids especially loved to play tag with him. He will be missed but we are grateful we were able to know him, if only for a short time. Thank you to Aiden for sharing his grandpa with us. Sending prayers to his family, especially Steve, Aiden and Monica.

To my favorite Jim in the whole wide word, you have been a great inspirational person in my life. I could probably type out a list of things but I dont think this can hold a million word. Steve has been a good close friend to me since the year 2000, and ever since than I have become apart of Steve and his families life. I am very grateful that I had a chance to have met you and your family. Heres a little prayer for you: heavenly father one of our family members have joined you family in heaven please look after him as he has been a great inspirational to the people around him, and now he can be a great inspirational person up there, in the name of the father son and the holly spirit, love you Jim Bransford

Dear Steven. I worked with Jim when he was a staff member at the Bueno Center. Over the course of several years I met you a couple of times at some event or another. I was saddened to hear of his death and am so sorry for your loss. Jim had a light-hearted spirit which made working with him a pleasure. Blessings to you and his family.
