James P. Fielder

My mother Odessa "Pantazis" Bolton so enjoyed her visits to Jim, I knew him since I was a toddler. I am 63 now. My Mom used to say they were partners in crime, then laugh for a long time. He tolerated me, not the kid type but did like playing jokes on me.

Jim, Thanks for the many wonderful memories! Mary Ann Wright

Jim, a final word from your friend Dr. Ron Meek. I was unable to attend your funeral, however, you were in my thoughts all day. I called your long-time very close friend, Mary Ann Wright, who is my Mom's Sister and my favorite Aunt for all of the details. My First Cousin, Jerry Wright, and my Brother-In-Law David Taylor, also long time friends of yours, were Pall Bearers. It was an honor to both Jerry and Dave as well as all of our Family that you requested they both be Pall Bearers at...

Jim, words cannot express how much we love you and will miss you. Thank you for impacting our lives in only the way you could. Those life lessons you taught us are now rock solid convictions. I know Peep and Memi are thrilled to have both of their children finally home. To the Jeffress family: At times it is over whelming to know God chose me to receive your loving kindness, your example, your direction and your rock solid teaching. You are a beacon of light...you are my beacon of light...

You led me on some wild adventures when we were kids... I will never forget you. Thank You for helping me grow up; you made summers in Van Alstyne very special.

My very clever cousin, you will be missed. Those who preceded you in exit from this earth will be thrilled to have your soul once again amongst them.

The family members of James Carter Umphress and Betty, cousins will miss your kind caring and supportive spirit. Rest in peace.

The officers and staff of Echo Company, Kemper Military School extend our most sincere and heartfelt sympathies to the family and friends of Jim. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this difficult time.
