Condolences for

my heartfelt condolences to jim and his family. jim and I served as naval reserve recruiters most of our active duty lives. Had our diferences but always respected each other.Jim was one of the most outgoig and energetic persons in our special unique recruiting organization,humorsuly called the dirty dozen or the 12 apostles. He was a fun guy to be around, never knowing what he would pull next. I only whish he would have attended one of our reunions. Many asked how he was doing and they missed seeing him.Guess we will all have to wait our turn. JIM GOD BLESS YOUR SOUL. FAIR WINDS AND FOLLOWING SEAS. KEN AND JEAN GERVAIS

My thoughts and prayers are with Little Jim's family. I remember him as one of those "old cousins" growing up and would often hear my Mom talk about Little Jim. I am sorry for your loss.

It was a pleasure to serve with you in the Navy Reserve and Navy League. Your friendship and service will be missed.

Our sympathy goes out to all of Jim's family. Jim was a very caring man, always there for family members and friends in need. Sorry we won't be able to attend his memorial services Regards

To the Wakeen family I send my deepest Sympathy's. Jim was a great Boss, and a great teacher,Thank you for hiring me as one of your Recruiters. I am sure he will be missed by his family, I know his Navy family have missed him since his retirement. Sincerely, Cupcake, he never let me live that nickname down. Farewell to a great energetic man.

Dad, We had some really good times together ... and some 'bumps in the road'. I miss the special times we spent trout fishing and the beers we shared after we didn't catch any. "Oh yeah, they'll be right here for sure. If you can't catch a trout here, you might as well go home!" I can't count the times we didn't catch any fish. You are the reason I joined the Navy. Thanks ! I wish you the fairest winds and the fondest seas.

We had many great years together in the Navy helping start up a new Command. You will be greatly missed by all your Recruiters. Fair winds and following seas
