Jim Bob was a darling little boy on the Waltons and probably my favorite actor. Rest in peace, Jim Bob.

When I first met Jim, I had discovered that I had an immediate friend. He made me feel at ease in my conversations with him, as if I had known him for years, and his passing certainly has affected my family and myself as we all met him while visiting years ago. Jim, your memory will always live on in our lives. Thanks so much for being such a good friend. You are sadly missed.

As a fan of the show I am sad that "Jim-Bob" has passed away though I know that he was only a character that I watched on tv. But I am saddened by this mainly because as a fan of this show I came across a web site that had only great things to say about the real man behind the character. This man took the time and pleasure in meeting the fans of this show and indulge their fantasies by becoming a part of their Walton Experience so many years after the show has had its first run.
Thank...
