Jimmy. I miss you my friend. In the early 80s we both moved to Houston. Ironically we had both worked for the Urban League in the 70s. Your untimely passing meant we never got to reconnect in HOUSTON. I will mourn you til I join you. TEAM ARIES!! Richard Washington, Pittsburgh

Sincere condolences, and fond memories.

I remember fondly Jimmy from the graduating class of John Harris High School. We had classes together and it was always a pleasure to see his wonderful smile. May you rest in Peace Sweet Friend. You touched my heart ..... I wish I would have told you sooner. Josie "Basore" Henry

Thank you Jimmy. My friend! Charles

A GENTLEMAN & a SCHOLAR My Deepest Condolences, Jimmy was a Very Kind person. Rest Easy

May you rest in peace my brother and classmate. I was just holding conversations with you just a couple of months ago on Social Media. Your passing was a shock to me and unexpected. May your family be comforted in Our Father's Peace during this time and always. You are missed my friend....

Love and prayers. A good guy I will miss him.
