I never had the pleasure or honour to meet Jim personally, but his life's work in very familiar to me and I am so grateful for all he has left us. Rest in peace, dear Jim. (Kateri Ewing, East Aurora, NY)

In the history of Ruskin studies, there have been many of note, but few of the great stature of Jim. When Ruskin was virtually unremembered, he, along with Van Burd, it was almost singularly responsible for reviving interest in the great Victorian. We already miss him greatly and generations to come will have no idea of how important he was to our common endeavor! May he rest in peace and bask in the glow of the very many who loved him and were oh so very grateful for all he did! Jim Spates
