I still talk to you Jimmy. I go out to the balcony, rub the head of the angle and talk to you. I can't believe it's been so long. I feel like you were here just the other day.

At Carroll you were a role model of both students and teachers. I admired your work and interaction with them. I remember our early morning conversations in the dining room and the time you shot a balled-up paper into my half-filled coffee cup from the next table. Who could forget your signature "Ah, ah, ah, ah!" chant that fired up students during pep rallies and your James Brown imitation in the dining room at 6:00 in the morning? We missed you when you retired and miss your even more now that you are in Heaven. Rest In Peace, my beloved friend.

Dearest Charlene, Kristen and Juliette,
I am so pleased that I could be with you to celebrate Jimmy's life. I lost my dad when I was 31 and he was only 64 and empathize greatly with all of you and, particularly, with Kristen. It is important to remember that our dads are no longer suffering and in a better place. They also do not want us to grieve for long as they are now with their Lord. May you receive peace in your hearts from knowing so many are sharing your pain. Much love to all of you. Cousin Jo Ann

Oh, we will miss Jimmy so much!
Jimmy was always an inspiration and example to us. Throughout his illness he always expressed an interest in our lives, our children, our thoughts & dreams. It seemed that with Jim, it was always about the conversation, the listening, the asking questions, the sharing, the sincerity......a rare and precious man. Rest in Peace dear one. Love to Char, Kyrss & Juliete.

Mr. Loc now you are in heaven, you have received your marching orders and now you have moved on from labor to reward. Thank You for pouring into my life the way Christ would have us to live. Thank You for teaching me to give back. Thank You for allowing and pushing me to run the ACHS Christian Service Club. For there it was where you help me and molded me to be Christ like. Yet I First had you as a Homeroom Teacher & Religion Teacher. Thank You for what you have done for me. I must tell say i have seen you suffer, I have seen you up & I have seen you down. But I never saw you give up, you have fought a good fight. You will always be in my heart, one last thing. Thank you for the best Senior Class Trip.
