Not sure what to say?

What a great guy! Terribly missed and always remembered at WABG Radio!

Rock on dear! You will be missed~

Wonderful to have worked you, Jim. Godspeed.

So very sorry to find this tonight. I worked with him & his band at some shows in Florida in the mid 90's. A talented man, and an amazing gentleman. He will not be forgotten. Prayers to his family.

Rock On Jimmie in Heaven! I saw you and your band at Brewster's Pit at Jax Beach,FL. I was on the front row and you let me sing Double Trouble and What's Your Name with you. That just really made my night and a great show..You are so missed...

Sorry for your loss
Prayers for the family
He is a beautiful Guardian Angel up in Heaven
Gone but never forgotten
GOD Bless this family

You are so loved, and missed. It is with a sad heart to say good by so soon.

We saw you and band at The Redneck Yacht Club in Punta Gorda, FL. Amazing. RIP Jimmie

My band Canebrake opened for Jimmy’s band in Va Beach back in early 2000 I believe it was. Very cool guy and so was his band. I still listen to his music and enjoy his craft. Rest well Jimmy.
