Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. It's been a few years since we spoke but I always admired Jim's smile, positive attitude and disposition. A fine man that will be fondly remembered by all who knew him.

I am so sorry to hear about Jimmy, my deepest sympathy to the family. He was a very nice man. I have known him since I was a little girl. My most favorite memory of him was how much he like Marvin Gaye's Got to Give it Up, and seeing him dance in the Elks everytime that song would come on. Hearing it now always makes me smile and think of him. May God Bless you all.
