Jim and I met while working at the hospital. He snuck his phone number in my pocket. I called him that night, we talked for 4 1/2 hours!!! That was in 2002, for the past 19 years we have been in each other’s life’s. In 2018 we finally got married. It was a simple yet beautiful ceremony. He has always had a love for adventure. We’d just jump in the car or on the Goldwing and go!! There are so many things I want to say, so many stories to tell, so many heart to heart talks that still need to be had…… I will do my best to raise your Ricki to make you proud!! Until we meet again… Love you always….your wife…..

I grew up with Jamie Hoover. I don't remember when I didn't know him. He was serious strong, kind, and had a wonderful sense of humor. Which means he knew how to make others laugh but also had the ability to laugh at himself. I hadn't seen him for several years, but last we spoke, it was as if no time had past. I will never forget his strong, dimpled chin and handsome smile. Sleep sweet dear childhood friend. You will be missed. Your legacy lives on in the hearts and smiles of your grandchildren.

Even though James was my little brother, he was a big man with a big heart. I would call him a "marshmallow" to his face, because he was a softie inside. He let very few people see that side of him. He had a troubled start to life, but he persevered and fought to become the man - the father, the grandfather - that he always wanted to be. He loved his family, his kids, grandkids, parents and sisters, and always wanted to know what was going on in their lives. He was considerate, thoughtful and matter of fact. I could always call him when I was upset and he’d settle me down. After one such phone call, he called his lovely daughter-in-law Teia and asked her to find me and give me a big hug. We had a couple of running competitions. One was to be the first to text the other with holiday greetings. I was way ahead on that. The other competition involved which one of us could pay the bill for a meal faster. I’d typically forget and he would conveniently excuse himself to “go to the restroom” before I finally realized what he was doing. At this point, he's probably ahead of me by 6 or 7 meals, and chuckling softly to himself. Shortly after my dad died, James told me he had had a dream. James (I could never call him Jim and he was fine with that) told me he dreamt he was in a large room with a lot of people and he was sitting down. And dad came up behind him, put his hand on his shoulder and told him everything was going to be fine. James’ belief in that message sustained him and comforted me. And he was always good with my mom. During the pandemic, when my mom was in the nursing home and we weren't allowed in, he would ask the staff to take a photo of her and text it to him so he could 'see' that she was all right. He would always send her flowers for various occasions. My mom kept every single vase. When she died, she had enough vases to start her own florist’s shop. James was a protector of the family and friends he loved. And, whether we knew it or not or asked for help or comfort, he was always there, in the background, ready to help in any way he could. I am and always have been so proud of my brother and loved him so very much. I hope he knew that, because that will never change. Love you, bro.
