The last fond memory of Uncle Jim is his 80th birthday celebration. He was a most gracious guest of honor. As he opened gifts, he took the time to look at each one carefully and thank the giver. That’s how he always was, making you feel so special when really he was the special one. I will miss him greatly. My deepest sympathies to Aunt Dottie and my cousins.

I was going to write the exact same words as my brother- Uncle Jim was the personification of the Southern gentleman. When I was a child, I thought he was Atticus Finch! I still do. My prayers go out to Aunt Dottie and to my cousins...

I remember Uncle Jim as a quintessential Southern gentleman. I treasured most his graciousness and his winning sense of humor, qualities I greatly admired. He was always interested in our lives, and we were always pleased when he would call or drop us a line - often recalling memories from his youth with my father. He is in our thoughts and our prayers.
