My exbrother-in-law Jim, was a fine man. In my eyes, he was the most honest and caring man that I have ever known. I know for a fact that he was loved by his family and friends. This man will be sadly missed.

I remember Jimmy well from our days at Tyson Jr. High School and when he worked for his Dad ( Boomer) at the service station on Sutherland Ave. Mr. Hamilton said it all in what he wrote in regards to Jimmy's character. These words are a testimont to Jimmys life and what he stood for. Jeter Latham

Pam,
I am so thankful that my children and I had the opportunity to get to know Jim over the past year. I was very happy to know that Jim actually enjoyed the company of a six-year-old boy during the week that you watched Ethan at your home last summer.
I had a wonderful time sitting on your front porch and chatting with Jim at your birthday party, while the hummingbirds buzzed our heads, the children played chase, and you hula-hooped in the yard. That was a beautiful day.
I did not know Jim well but I treasure the memories that I do have of him. He did not complain of the pain that he was inevitably in, rather he emanated kindness, warmth, and a child-like enthusiasm.
Please know that all of our love is with you, Pam.
Love, Karen, Mark, Ethan, and Sam

To All Family
I am so very sad to know that Uncle Jim has passed. He was such a sweet and caring man. When I was a kid, he would take Carla and I to Krystals and always made it a fun event! This world was a brighter place with him and heaven will now shine brighter because he is there. Love and prayers to all!

A friend of mine died; I had known Jimmy for fifty
years. I remember the first day I ever saw him; he came early one school
morning and gave my sister and me a ride to school. He was driving a red and
white 1957 Metropolitan, a tiny car, but we all piled in and he dropped me off
at Junior High and him and the others went on to Fulton High. Jimmy and his dad owned and operated a
service station, a CITGO on Kingston Pike. I hated school and he helped me play
hooky a few times, and I would hang out all day with him working on cars. We
would have the radio playing loud, and Jimmy and I both would sing loudly and
very badly while I handed him wrenches and he turned them until his dad came in
and turned off the radio. Jimmy could fix anything. He was always good company
and had a smile on his face and a pleasant greeting and kind words for just
about everyone. He loved and respected my father. I left and joined the Army
but when I came home on leave, I still hung out at Jimmy's station throughout
the day. What little I knew about cars I learned from him. Jimmy had polio
when he was very young and had a crippled leg, but he still worked very hard and
I mean hard work and long hours to provide as best he could for his family. He
would loan me his car, which I wrecked, but Jimmy was not mad; he did not say
one unkind word to me about it. Jimmy had different names for people; they were
affectionate terms and by no means demeaning. He always called me John L; no
one else called me that, just Jimmy. I went through some very difficult times
through the war and Jimmy always offered words of encouragement. The fact that
he put up with me was a testament to his patience. Jimmy's life was not easy
and he had another illness that destroyed his kidneys. He was fortunate that he
also had a very brave son that he raised and who loved him. Jimmy Jr. donated a
kidney to his father and prolonged his life for many years, which enabled him to
enjoy time with his grand children. Words are inadequate to describe the pride
that Jimmy had in his son. Jimmy may be gone but his legacy will live on
through his son, Jimmy Jr., and two remarkable grand children.
Heaven has a new attendant now, one whose body is whole.
There is no brace and no pain. The cruel disappointments of life have fallen
away. A bright smile and a good heart now stands with our Lord. Heaven is even
better and this world is a little less.
