In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

I worked with James at DSC. There were many times that he made me laugh and smile. May you find comfort and peace during this difficult time. James will be deeply missed at DSC.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. What a great guy Jimmy was,I feel blessed to have known him. Always a word of greeting and checking in on you. We first met at 1st Baptist Church many years ago. He will be missed. Take care.

My deepest sympathies to Linda and the entire family.

James was a great man taught many things in our short time together. I will never forget him he will always be in my heart... rest easy old friend... my prayers to the family love u all

Jim was a wonderful soul. Even though I only knew him a year he was such a delight. I will always think of him while eating crab ragoon or listening to God Bless the USA.

Linda I was blessed to know your brother!! James was a great guy! I really enjoyed the time I got to spend with him as his staff! I will miss his jokes, his piano playing and our chats! He will be missed!

To all of Jim's loved ones,
I was very sad to hear of Jim's passing! My family and I have fond memories from our days shared at First Baptist. My daughter was reminiscing about playing handbells with Jim. And yes, potluck Sunday was always Jim's favorite there too! You have all been so good to Jim all of his life and he loved his family so much! May you find comfort in knowing he is healthy and happy in heaven!

So sorry to hear about Jim's passing.
He was a big part of my family's life growing up on Allen Ave. Your family is in our prayers . Becky Hickey Shay
