Dr. Farley had been our doctor since 1964-2005. He was also a treasured friend of the entire Farmer family. He will be missed more than words can express.

To the family and friends of Dr.Jim,
We will truly miss him and we know that he is in a far far better place now with all those who have gone before him. He was a wonderful person and alway so full of life. Our family had known him for along time and now he is at rest along with Blaine and Edith. Take care and we love you, The Thompson family

Dear Jerry,
I remember visiting with you at your Mother's home in Bluefield many years ago. Jim and I worked together in the OR at RMH and became close during that time. We shared many good adventures, from going to New York in his old hearse to visiting with friends and family. He was very dear to me. Our last trip together was to Carlisle PA to attend an antique car flea market. That must have been about 30 years ago.
I was unaware of his illness. I am so sorry for your loss. Jim will always hold a special place in my heart.
Please tell your sister, Pauline, that I am originally from English WV.
I believe she married a man from either English or Bartley. I also remember meeting her son who was at that time in medical school at the University of Florida.

I remember Dr. Farley from years back when I worked in nursing, at Roanoke Memorial Hospital, but never really got to know him. But, 20 years ago I became involved in the CME Department and had the opportunity to get to know him. He would try to be the first physician at the meetings and sometimes he was there before the CME staff. At this time of the year he would bring me a list of eduational activities he had attended for the year to ensure his credits were complete. I will miss him and feel very privileged to have known him. He shared his trips he would take with Pauline and one only had to look at his face when he would speak of her to see the deep love he had for his sister. Ms. Payne you are in my thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time.

Dr. Farley was such a good person!
I got to know him through Medical Grand Rounds. He was normally the first one there in the mornings. He was always eager to learn. We talked of music quite often as well. I will miss him very much. Rest in peace Dr. Farley.

Family and Friends of Dr. Farley: I am so sorry that Dr. Farley had to leave us, but I know that he is in a much better place. I will miss seeing him tinkering with his old cars. On the way home, I would often ride by and see the hood up on one his jewels, and the big smile on his face as he fixed yet another problem! He was a miracle worker in more ways than one! He was a wonderful neighbor and friend, and will be missed by many. Blessings to each of you.

Jerry and Betty,
We are so saddened , as I know you are, to lose Jimmy. He was always part of our extended Family, even after he left Double Gates. We know there is a place in Heaven that has been ready for him, but we hate to see him go. He was an Angel here on earth. (I just wonder if he will teach the other Angels how to ride a bicycle backwards?)

Dearest Jerry, Betty and Pauline..Know that our prayers are with you all during this hard time. Jimmy was special to all of us and will be sadly missed by us all. We all enjoyed his stories of the past when he shared his many memories with us. My husband Robert and Jimmy could talk about cars for hours on end. Jimmy and our daughter Elizabeth shared a special bond, and because of this she is going to be a doctor. We will carry special memories of him on our hearts. Jimmy was a caring soul and made a difference to so many people lives. He will be truely missed. When we last saw him, only a few short weeks ago, he was still telling his stories. We are all better for knowing him and I feel we all learned alot from him. I am just so sorry that Esabelle isn't old enough to remember Jimmy. But we will tell her about him so she knows.
LOVE The Martin's
Robert, Annie, Elizabeth, Emilee and Esabelle

We want to express our deepest sympathy concerning Jimmy's passing. He was a fine man with a great wit and time spent in his presence was always a genuine pleasure. We will treasure those memories.

Jimmy
Thanks to your kindness and gentle heart, my childhood eye exams were a little less stressful. My family always enjoyed our trips to Roanoke to see you. And thanks for that ride to the Star on Mill Mountain in your convertible one night so many years ago.

Jerry, Betty, Pauline and Diana:
We are deeply sorrowful for the loss of Jimmy. Although I had known him as my ophthalmologist for many years, it wasn't until we took a trip to the beach with him that we got to know what a character he could be. We'll never forget the enjoyment of getting to know Jimmy, Diana and the many family friends on that trip. Jimmy was truly one of a kind, and could talk intelligently on nearly any subject, from car repairs to kittens to investments to airplanes to medical matters. We will miss his warm smile and quick wit. May it be of some comfort that you are constantly in our thoughts during this time of sorrow. Although we have lost a wonderful friend and family member, Heaven has gained another saint.
