To the Anthony family, I am so sorry for your loss. Since high school, Jimbo always held a special place in my heart, I'm sad to hear of his passing especially 8 years later but glad to see he had the family that he always dreamed of & that he was born again. I know we will get to see him again one day. He was a wonderful man.

My friend, My Battlebuddy, My Bro. Jimbo was an individual who I shared the trials and triumphs of life with. His love for God and family inspired me to reach for what he knew - the things that really mattered. I am honored to have known him, and I know that one day we will again be together in heaven in the true love & grace of our Lord. From the first time I met Jim, with his jaw wired shut, to the times of roasting whole pigs and gazing at stars and asteriods in the freezing cold of a winter night, his heart & love brought me faith and hope. I will truly miss Jimbo, we went thru it together Bro and came out the other side by the grace of God, and alot of tears.
To Joni and the kids - my deepest sympathy and love to you all. I remember his excitment after that first date, when he told me "I think she's the one"! I am here should you need ANYTHING. The day that Caroline was born was truly sweet. I remember his tear filled face and his words coming bursting from the room - "I AM A DAD"! Jimbo was so proud of Lauren and Britain - The young adults they had become and on thier way to making a place in this world for them. He cherished you both and was proud and honorded to be your Dad.
Jimbo is with our Lord, and is free from the pain and suffering of his back that so crimpled him.
I love you Bro, and will see you again and dude, then we are gonna make some food like never before!

Words cannot say how sad I am for your family. Jimbo was such a wonderful, kind and caring guy, I knew him well in high school, and always adored him. I have not seen either of you since your wedding, which I vividly remember as a lovely day. Know you are in my prayers. I am so sorry for your loss.

One of the best dinners I ever had was one cooked by Jim when I was in town helping the Field Engineers in ATL while Jim was still With Medic. I am still with Medic (now Misys) and those of us that knew him are very sad to hear of his passing. Jim was a great guy, alot of fun, and will be missed greatly.

Joni, I was so shocked to hear about this. I can't even imagine what you are going through. Jim was a life long friend, he was a great man. I had the pleasure of knowing Jim since elementary school, we remained good friends in high school, then I guess kinda drifted apart. The last time I got to see Jim was nice, I got his number again and got to talk with him some after that. We will all truly miss him.

What a loss! I had the privilege to have a cube right across from Jim. He shared so many stories with me. He was such a beautiful and thoughtful person. Full of spirit and ALWAYS a delight to be around. I can’t imagine this world existing without him. My prayers goes out to Joni and the family. No doubt…Jim will be alright. He loved his God and the way he lived his life is a testimony to that.

Jim, truly loved his wife and family. He talked about his family all the time with joy. He was an awesome man of God. He was the only man I know looking forward to going to heaven and he told me that one day! May the Lord comfort you with His peace and love.

Sincerely,
Melissa
