Condolence: Like many, I met James at Showdown. Always a friendly smile and a ready funny tale. I was once so despondent over the Redskins that I asked James if Green Bay was accepting fans. He assured me they were, but I'd have to agree to go up there and eat bratwurst. I told him I'd give Washington another chance. He was like that--so quick and humorous. And of course a true blue friend. I'll really miss that. Condolences to you, April. Thanks for sharing him with all of us for all these years. Love to you both.

Condolence: April..you are such a strong person... James is so lucky to have you for a wife and a true friend..every time i start to write my eyes start to tear up..this is so very hard..i love you guys..and that's forever..Derven and Trish

Condolence: Always a smile, always a friend. You will be missed James, but we are all better people for having known you. Love to you April, and all the family.

Condolence: James,
You and April are the best neighbors a guy could ask for--friendly, depenndable, accessible, and helpful at all times. Our yard-to-yard conversations were some of the best I've ever had. I will always remember your unassuming intellect, good humor, and adventurous spirit, and the countless personal and neighborly courtesies you extended to me and my family and friends. There is no one like you. You will be missed and never forgotten by me, Isabella, and Darshan.
Love always, Ara

Condolence: James is one of two men I have known that were truly special people. James was special because of the characteristics that made him the man he was-honest, truthful, humble, a great sense of humor and an altruistic nature. I knew James for 30 years-through work, the showdown AND the fishing trips, which undoubtedly provide the abundance of my memories for the tales I shall spin of such. I hope I never forget. See ya later Jaime...

Condolence: For twenty years I have been trying to convince James to run for City Council thinking what an awesome force he would be. To that end, whenever I saw him I always greeted him Councilman Rohlich. It always made us laugh. He was an early friend when I moved here in 1981 and I will never forget the first time I saw him with his brothers...all looking so related!

Condolence: Writing this from Ruidoso, NM. James and I talked often about how this was my sanctuary each year, and how he loved it when he came here

Condolence: I'll never forget the days at the Showdown with James. He was always such a fun loving guy. Never seemed to be down. Golf in the morning/early afternoon and then to the Showdown for video golf and beer in the evening. How could you beat that? One of my favorite memories was going to Cain and Abels with James and Don Spencer to watch a Bears/Packers game. Don and I being Bears fans and, of course, James with his love for the Pack. I think the Pack won that game, but I'll always be in denial. You'll always be in our hearts, James.

Condolence: This ones for yall James and April. Go Packers!!!! Win the super bowl for James. that was a tuff write for a bleed blue Cowboy fan, but i mean it.

Condolence: Uncle James,
