There are no words that can express the heartache we feel at the loss of our lifelong friend. We have been friends for nearly 50 years. Over the years we have been separated by miles, but not from our hearts. Jim was with us in Mankato for the birth of our son Scott (now 46 years old), and has been Scott's buddy ever since. We shared many great adventures over the years. When we were together whether it was in Iowa, Minnesota, or the Florida Keys, we had such great times. We will miss you dear friend! To all the Ware family we send our love and prayers. May all the happy memories help to heal your broken hearts. With love Terryl and Ron

To Jim's family, especially Nick, and Bob and LaVena ~ David and I were shocked and heartbroken to hear of Jimmy's death. We enjoyed so many Large good times at the Warehouse, grilling and laughing with friends. Saturday golf at Trophy Club (birthplace of the "coyote mulligan"), the guys stopping for beers at our fence on 16, meeting later in the bar. And always his laughter from jokes and stories shared, even when times were hard. The "Doctor" was a man of great and generous of spirit. A sweet man. Life is smaller without him. Much love and comfort from old friends. H and David
