My blessings to the family of Mr. James Honeysucker. His wonderful personality and smile will never be forgotten. I always enjoyed talking with him when he came to Greenfield Montessori School to check on his daughters. May God keep his family in his loving care.

I was also a school friend of Jimmy from Burroughs & Madison. We remained friends reconnecting often through mutual friend Patrick McKissick who considered Jimmy a brother. I have good memories of them both over the 40+ years. They were diagnosed on the same day & now reside in Heaven as brothers still. I will miss Jimmy's smile. He was a true gentleman.
He stood by my side when we said good-bye to Patrick. Darlene, I stand by yours in spirit. May you find peace in HIS glory.
I pray for comfort to the Honeysucker family. Until we can meet again...

We knew James known to us as Jimmy as neighbors in Milwaukee on 10529 W Mill Road back in the day when they were only a few African American families in the area. We had great times growing up. Jimmy was especially close our Brother Kenny who has also passed on. They both are now with our Heavenly Father. May we Bless Jimmy's wife Darlene and the entire Honeysucker family during this times and sorry for this tremendous loss.

We both fought and overcame the battle, Uncle Jimmy, only you have the greatest reward, and that is to be with our Heavenly Father and other loved ones that have gone before. It hurts to know that I cannot hear your baritone anymore but brings me joy to know that your suffering is over. I love you for always being my rock and guide during the hard times and for our humorous exchanges. You were more than my uncle, you were my father as well. Your absence is heartfelt but I know that I will see you again!! ~Meekie
