Flew a lot with him and he always came to our FARPA lunches, until he couldn' t drive any more. He was a great man! Cherie Lambourne Jim was a great guy with a huge heart. He never said no when asked to help anyone. Jim and my dad, Bob Lambourne, were both based in Billings and frequently flew together. They had a shared passion of the outdoors - camping, hunting, and fishing. Jim was a loyal and lifelong friend who visited my father every day when Dad was in hospice care. This photo was taken in 1963 on a Montana hunting trip. Jim is in the middle and my dad is on the right. Karen Berry RIP Jim. I really enjoyed working with you. Debra Spurgeon I loved visiting Jim every time my husband and I were in Colorado. We would talk about our time in Billings and then in Denver. He'd call my dad (Fuzz Parten) every morning at 10:30 to see how he was feeling before he died. Love talking about their trips. The karate lessons we all took as kids. So much of my childhood around him. RIP Jim.
