I didn't know Tuffy until I met him at Dr. Bates office. He became a good friend and I looked forward to his visits. He was a sweet person, we shared many laughs together. My deepest condolences to his family and close friends, you have lost a special man. Rest in peace my friend!

One of my favorite Stanford Wildcat football players. I gave him the nickname "Tuffy".
Deepest sympathy to his family.

I was saddened to hear of Jim's passing. He was always so kind to annoying underclassmen at Stanford High and I really looked up to him. Even though it has been many years since I have seen him it is amazing the impact he has made. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

13 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. 14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.
Rest in peace my friend.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-14
Rest in peace my friend.
