James (Jim) Roland Gibson, Jr.

Jim was educated in the Fort Smith public school system and graduated from Fort Smith High in 1953. He graduated from the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville in 1958. He served in the Air National Guard and US Air Force from 1953 to 1961.
His business career was spent in department store operations, primarily with Federated Department Stores including Foley's Sanger-Harris, and Rich's. Jim was a member of the Episcopal Church. Throughout his life his church work and duties were very important to him. He served on several vestries throughout his life and in his latter years was proud to have the opportunity to work with the Room in the Inn .
Jim enjoyed three primary hobbies: football, his two dogs, and working in his yard. He was always proud to be an Arkansas Razorback.

Sadly, he lost Pete only six weeks before his own death and he will be deeply missed by Sammie and his family.

Jim was a one of a kind man. I will never forget his laugh or smile. I learned a lot from him during the chapter of my life I was working with him and Lynne. Great memories I will hold dear. I know with confidence I will see him again one day soon. Lynne, Karen, and all of his family are in my prayers.

Dear Karen and family,
We were so sad to hear of your Dad dying last Thursday. Since Charlene and your Aunt Susan died we have loss touch with you. Of course I knew your Mom from Nurses Training and hanging out at your grandparents (Hatfield's house) while we were at St. Edwards. And my husband of 60 years worked with Buddy at the grocery store and was in the Air National Guard together and they ran around together. As a matter of fact Buddy and Charlene introduced Jerry and I on a blind date 61 years ago.
Lynne our condolences to you and Karen. Buddy was a very nice and sweet guy. May he rest in peace. Love and Prayers, Jerry and Jude Hassler
