I will miss chats with James on rides to the airport. He was a nice man. He even picked up one of my friends a couple years ago and drove him all the way to Wisconsin.

James Nesbitt was a wonderful man. He was 100% dependable with his limo service, which we and our children and friends used for many years. A dear person with a good sense of humor, he made a difference in people's lives. My thoughts go to his wife and children. --Carol Balkcom, Denver, CO

Words can't expression the sadness and pain that I feel. I'll forever cherish his unconditional love, talks, and host of memories. What helps me the most, is knowing that he was "saved" and had a relationship with God. As we grieve, I trust God to see us through. Family, friend, and his customers, meant the world to him. I ask for your continued prayers and check-ins, even after the funeral services.

James has picked me up and taken back to O'Hara many times. he is a true humanitarian, a wonderful and beautiful human being, and I believe a God-fearing person. What an example he is to all of us and we will not forget him. May God accept him at home with Him. Amen.
