Jim brightened my mother's life for a time, reminding her that she was still vibrant and attractive. His humor and his love for her made us all very happy, we were thankful for his presence right up til the end of his life.

I remember Jim and Catherine as classmates at Hilton Elementary School and his Dad as sheriff of Warwick County. On the first day of seventh grade, the teacher asked each child what they wanted to be when they grew up. When she called on Jim, without hesitation he answered "airplane pilot". I have remembered that these many years and was impressed that he followed through with his childhood aspiration. Catherine and family, I am truly sorry for your loss.
