Your memory will be a blessing to all who knew you. Rest In Peace, Jim.
Condolences for James F. Martin Jr.
A dear, thoughtful friend and wonderful, kind human being, you will be greatly missed, Jim! It is a blessing to have known you and your sweet, furry companions, Little Girl and Coco. Hope you and Little Girl are reunited in Heaven. May God bless, and give peace and comfort to your family and friends.
Very sad to hear of Jimmys passing. Jimmy was my teacher, mentor, and friend. For two years between 1977 and 1979, I worked in Jimmy's studio carving his pieces from beginning to end, thrilled to have him place his signature on the work he guided me in creating. He taught with love, and by his life example of searching for personal artistic expression and seeking perfection of craft. I believe my life as a designer, sculptor, professor and mentor is largely due to the time I spent with Jimmy and the years off our friendship. He was extraordinary. I will miss him greatly .
Dear Jim,
I am thinking of you as always. It is hard to believe it will be a year tomorrow since your gentle passing.
I can hear your voice and your laugh joining my own as we share observations of this crazy time we are living through.
Thank you for your friendship. It is a gift I will always treasure. I love you.
