What a wonderful husband, dad, grandfather and friend. Jim Bratton was one of the finest man I've ever know. A true gentleman. He will be missed by many but oh what a wonderful life he had. I am so sorry for your loss and will keep your whole family in my prayers.

So sorry to hear of Jim's passing. Our family goes back more than 60 years. There are so many fond memories. Alleen was the private secretary for my father, William A. Fisher, C&S Bank, in the late 1950's/early 1960's. I remember the day she told my father she found her beau to share the rest of her life with. She brought Jim to our house for dinner to meet him. Of course their life to be was a match made in Heaven. My memories go back to many visits to their first home on Rickenbacker...

Please accept my deep condolences for the loss of your loved one. May God give you the strength and power to cope with the loss and memories that will bring a smile to your face and warmth to your heart. Isaiah 40:29

I worked as Mr. Bratton's secretary at Gambrell Russell in the mid-1970s. I have wonderful memories of my time working with him--his sense of humor, his gracious manners, and his patience with a 19 year working in her first city job. My condolences to Aileen and the rest of the family, but what a wonderful life he lived and how much he gave to the world. What a celebration of his life you will have!

My deepest condolences to the family of Mr. Bratton. May the words at Isaiah 57:15 bring you comfort in your time of mourning.

Mr. Bratton was a warm, caring person. I grew up near Decherd, TN, where both he and his father were held in high esteem. When I moved to the Atlanta area and needed legal advice, his high school friends (he was between my mother and my aunt in high school) suggested I contact him. He treated me with the same respect and professionalism as he did his international clients. We need more people such as he.

I have such fond memories of Mr. Bratton and the entire Bratton family from my days of youth, playing at their home on Muscogee Avenue. Mr. Bratton was always so warm and friendly, and had such a wonderful sense of humor. I remember him being a whiz at Yahtzee and other board games. I'll be holding all of the family in my thoughts and prayers.
With Love,
