James R. Compton Sr.

Hello Jim it's Donald Berry. It's been almost 10 years since your passing and it's still hard to believe that you are not around. I appreciate all the times and memories that I made with you. Still think of you as my special friend and think of you all the time. I will always have you in my heart, Love always.

Jim was not only a good friend for many years, he was also a groomsman in my wedding in 1974. Had great fun with him at Overland Baptist
church making music and I played drums behind him on several gigs when I was in college--he was one crazy great guitarist. I remember once in the early 70's we went fishing just outside the city, but spent more time listening to music on the radio--whenever I hear Green-Eyed Lady, I think of that time. His passing leaves a weird empty place in the...

Sorry I learned about his passing too late to personally share my thoughts with his family. Jim was one of my all-time favorite colleagues in the sports media. He loved racing and he loved to share that passion. I will never forget his generous nature.

My condolences to the family. I got to hang out with Jim at the 40th reunion for a while and had a ball. It was like 1 year had passed instead of 40.

I will miss him.
Rick

So sorry for you loss. I enjoyed catching up with Jim at our 40th reunion. He will be missed at the 45th this summer. May your mememories be a comfort.

I have fond memories of Jim from our school days at Ritenour High School; great memories of our rock & roll band experiences together. Jim was a fellow of many interests and abilities and I was always impressed, though not surprised, with his many accomplishments. He will be remembered.

You always had a smile. Be sure to keep our friends busy up their. Please know you will be missed by many and be in our prayers for you and your family.
