Dear Karen and family
It is a privilege and an honour to call Jim my friend. A truly wonderful wonderful man. I believe he saved my life for which I will be forever grateful. He will be truly missed but I am confident wherever he may be he will be smiling.
God speed my friend RIP.
The very best wishes thoughts and love come to you all from across the pond.
Caroline, William and Chris

Jim’s passing leaves a big hole in my life. We laughed our way through Randolph Elementary, endured Millard Lefler, and became Links together. I was sad when I heard that the Army drafted him and sadder still when I heard of his injury. He returned to UNL a changed person and his personality and dedication led to his enormous success in life. Sally was a guiding light is his (and my) life. I will miss them both. God bless his family. I shall leave a flower at his gravesite whenever I return to Lincoln.

Hey Karen and family,

Jim was a mediator friend, fellow unsuccessful Legislative candidate (due to the scurrilous bs of the NRP) and great husband to a long time friend Karen. Loved the guy and his laugh and how he supported so many worthy causes as a first rate lawyer and human. Will miss Jim greatly!

Quando ho conosciuto Jim nel 2013 ho capito subito la splendida persona che era, apprendo ora della sua scomparsa e ne sono profondamente dispiaciuto, porgo tutte le mie più sentite condoglianze alla famiglia, un caro saluto Filippo Torrini

Jim was a party in progress. Lincoln, in the world, is the less for his passing.

Kimberly and I want to extend our condolences to Jim’s entire family and also Shannon for reaching out to me to share some of my thoughts for her memory book and also sending out the link so we could view the service since we couldn’t be there. Jim was an incredible friend and when we would get together when I would come back to Lincoln, it’s as if our lives picked up as if we just saw each other yesterday. Thank you Jim for allowing me to be part of your life. It was one life definitely well lived. Rest in peace, with sympathy Gary & Kimberly Kuklin and the Kuklin family.

Jim Gordon’s laugh could be heard around the world. It was infectious, heart lifting and smile inducing. I loved that man for being the perfect match for my friend Karen and for making the world a better place. I loved his moustache, his style, his wit, his caring advocacy and … well, just about everything about him. It breaks my heart that instead of wishing him a happy birthday today, I must say God speed, good friend. RIP.
