My deepest condolences go out to Jimmy, Jason, Mary and the rest of Jim's family. I had the good fortune of getting to know Jim as a friend and in short time he became part of my extended family. Jim had a huge heart, a compassionate spirit and an unmatched fun loving way about him. He played a major role in my life while I was attending graduate school in Gainesville and I'm extremely grateful for the many good times we shared together. I am deeply saddened by Jim's passing as he will be sorely missed by all that knew him. God Bless. I miss you Jim and may you rest in peace!

Psalm 116:15 "Precious in the sight of the Lord Is the death of His Godly Ones." Imagining Jimmy rejoicing in the arms of the King in a new, unbroken body :) I am missing you already but am assured we will meet again. Good and Faithful Servant Jimmy!
