Jimbo ! Hope your family is doing well. Not forgotten my friend

Sup´ James - miss your humor. I haven´t been back to Cardina´s for lunch in years - I may go up there and order the "FAA lunch" in your memory. Hope to see you again ...much love my friend

Still think about you from time to time. I try to remember that funny Navy radio call you used to tell me about. I haven´t been back to Cardona´s Mexican restaurant since I was at Saxon. I may head out that way in the next couple of days - if their still open, I´ll order the FAA plate in your memory. Miss you brother...

I was set back to hear of Jim's passing - he had a great sense of humor and although I only worked with him only a short time - we would stay in touch from time to time. He was a good guy. We always argued about who had the best Tex Mex. I loved to joke with him adn will miss his wit and sarcasm. Best wishes to his wife and daughters.

Shelley, I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers and best wishes to you and your daughters during this trying time. No words are adequate at this time. Daniece Clark/Arlington Quilt Guild.

Jimmy and I were friends at Texas City High School and spent our teen years 'hanging out' togehter with his cousin Billy. I have many fond memories of the football games, Sadie Hawkins dances and cruising Palmer highway. It is sad to say farewell to such a dear childhood friend. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

My cousin and best bud growing up in Texas City. Ages 3-6 our moms and dads would get together on the weekends, play cards, barbque and make homemade hand cranked icecream.

Around age 7 to 15 we would bicycle out to Moses Lake to wade fish, shoot BB guns and and all the other stuff boys did togethers.

He turned 16 about 8 months before me and then it was racing cars and chasing women on Palmer Hwy, double dating. In 1983 we started B&B Fence together after hurricane...

Jim and I worked together at Saxon. He was my go-to person for NICE software recording system needs. Jim was great to work with and brought a smile to your face with his sometimes dry humor. It's sad to see him leave us at such a young age. I wish his family, and especially his daughters, the comfort in knowing that Jim is no longer suffering, and in a better place. It's hard for us to let go of those we love and move on; but it is an inevitable part of life, and one we should embrace. ...
