So sorry to hear of Jimmy's passing. He will indeed be missed. I no longer receive the news paper and have been down for a few days so missed seeing obituary. He and Neal are cutting up somewhere I can hear the laughter. Take care. If I can assist you in any way please let me know. Phyllis SU Melancon on Facebook for contact information. I will keep you in my prayers.

Jim a long time client always walked in to my office with a smile on his face. He is one of the kindest , caring people I ever met. Our staff often would gather around and listen to him telling stories , which he was good at. I know he will be missed.

The loss of this wonderful man will be felt by so many. Days will be difficult and nights will seem endless. He was such a joy whenever I had the pleasure of being around him. I met Jim through his wife Sandra and they were awesome to everyone. My advice to Sandra and family and Jims family is lean onto The Lord who is the giver and taker of life and know you will see your sweet Dad, Husband, grandfather, father -in-law and beloved friend again in the heaven where there is no pain and suffering.
