Mary, Charlie and I just heard about Jim. We're so sorry for your loss. I know that you and the family are still missing him, as will all his friends. Stay strong my friend. Love, Chris
Mary and Family, I am praying for God's comfort and strength for you. Jim was such a joy to be around and certainly gave me, and many others, numerous wonderful memories. God bless you.
Say not in grief: "He is no more", but live in thankfulness that he was. Jim was a great man who lived a great life. We were blessed to have known him.
My mother, Odie, and I were fortunate to get to work with Jim on a variety of issues many years ago. I will always remember his infectious smile, warm welcomes, and sincere dedication to the issue at hand. His legacy will live on for many, many years in the lives of all Missourians, as well as in the futures he's helped to build through the Jim Russell Foundation at MO-AG. His family are in my thoughts and prayers.
