Not sure what to say?

Jimmy was a blessing to all who knew him for he always had a kind word and a warm smile to all who crossed his path. I miss him, but I will always cherish my memory of him. A UNC teammate Tommy Ward

He's the singular reason Rita and I became citizens of Virginia and Hampton.

Jimmy's memory lives on at First United Methodist Church, Hampton where he was a tireless worker and devoted Christian example to so many. We continue to miss him.

Jimmy was an inspection for me in my Hampton High school days. A great role model. Judy and I later used him as our accountant. So many things I can say about Jimmy. He will be missed. Buddy and Judy Joynes

Mrs. Eason..you may not remember me but we met at the Hidenwood where my Mother is a resident. We had a nice chat in the parking lot one day! My brothers and I all thought that you and Mr.Easton were the sweetest and most devoted looking couple when we would pass in the dining room there. I am so sorry to hear of your loss..but am glad to have passed your way in this lifetime. God bless you and your family.

Kiki and Nancy, I am so very sorry to hear of your Dad´s passing. I know it has been many many years but I have some very fond memories of him. He was a good man and a great Dad. You and your Mom are in my thoughts and prayers. Take care.

Midge and family. It was my pleasure to have known Jimmy over the years.We shared a lot of meeting time during his term as Mayor and Economic Director. He was always very professional yet he had Way of bringing those meetings right to the decision that was best for the City.We we're also golfing friends and I was always impressed with competitiveness to win !

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
