James Hayes - Guestbook

Jim was a very unique and endearing person. I truly enjoyed working with him over the years. His sense of humor and his way of approaching life will be sorely missed. He touched many lives and always worked for the benefit of those he came into contact with.

It is with some consolation that we know he is in a better place and he was with his family, whom he dearly loved, when he left this life for the next. He never wanted to be a burden on anyone but you knew that your needs were never a burden for him.

While I never met Jim, he became a special friend to my son, Chris, who passed away this past October at the age of 27. If it wasn't for Jim, Chris would have been driving a car that was not safe. Rest in peace Jim!

I very much enjoyed knowing Jim. Lunchtime was never dull. Eventhough I just worked in the same building I got to know and love him. He was always so thoughtfull. But boy could he be crazy. You just never knew what he would come up with next. I'll sure miss his humor and the emails he passed on. I'll miss the twinkle in his eye, the way he smiled and laughed when he "gottcha". I've always said that he would be one of the ones I would miss the most when I retired. Well I sure miss him now. Bye, Jim. Love you.

So sad to hear of Jim's passing. Jim was a true gentleman, one filled with wisdom and understanding. Jim helped us with our MAEAP certification and taught us much about organization and simplicity. It was a pleasure to work with him. Jim was the kind of person we hoped to get to know better. We look forward to spending more time with him when we see him again in heaven. God Bless You Jim!!! You were a blessing to us.
