Thanks for the smiles, Mr. Adcock... You were a good soul and always kind to anyone new that you met. I'm glad I got the chance to meet you, Jim. ( Even if you weren't REALLY a wizard...)RIGHT ON, MAN! xo

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you. Jimmy was definitely a unique and very special person and it's hard to believe that he won't be around in person to jam to tunes (or sing them offkey)

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. May you gather strength as you gather together. Fern and Clarke

I will always remember how Jimmy would light up a room when he entered it. He was always so happy. I will miss him. Now he is with Jesus, Grandma, Aunt Nancy, and Mark.
