I've known "Jim" since first grade, he was such a "fun" and "loveable teddy bear!" To all those who really knew him, from years gone by, he will continue to be dearly loved, as he loved generously. I, like many others will always have such a very specail spot in my heart for you Jim! To the other family memebers, I will continue to keep you all in my prayers, knowing this was such a tradgic loss, the Lord and time, may perhaps heal this very deep, lonely spot, I personally feel, can't begin to know how you guys, without doubt, must feel. My prayers and symathy to all!

Diane and family you are all in my prayers. I am so sorry to hear about Jimmy passing away. I knew him from a long time ago back when we were in high school. He was always such a kind and gentle soul. I lost my husband nine years ago so I do know what you are going through, just lean on God, honey that and the love of friends and family will help you through. If you need to talk or anything I am available anytime.

Jimmie was a very nice person with a big heart. I worked with him, and he was my supervisor at Woodbine. He always helped everyone. He will surely be missed by all who knew him. RIP
