James Edward "Jim" Hightower Jr.

Love and hugs to all of you.

Jim was our pastor at Little Farms UCC in River Ridge in the late 90's. As a member of the church council, I had the opportunity to work closely with Jim and attend NO Assoc. and UCC Conf. meetings with Jim. I was impressed with his ability to pray "off the cuff" and motivate people to action with his words. As a family, we were honored to have Jim officiate at our son's wedding at Little Farms in 1998. Our deepest condolences go out to Jim's family. He was a passionate, compassionate man of...

I was so sorry to hear of Jim's passing. He will be missed. May God give you peace and strength for this sad time.

I know Jim from working in the Pastoral Ministry Department at the Baptist SS Board in Nashville, and then later as participants in Amer. Assoc. of Pastoral Counselors. He was always a breath of fresh air for me. He definitely was his own man, yet gave freely of his compassion to others. Love to Susan and the family.

Susan, I am so sorry to hear of Jim's death and extend my sympathy to you and the family. I hope you are weathering this time as well as one can. What a gifted minister and therapist he has been. What contributions he has made to so many institutions through the years. God's love and strength to you all. Jim Coffman

We always appreciated Jim and his helpful/supportive attitude. Whether the issues were religion, church business and/or politics, Jim always had a special perspective that made you think and react with respect for self and others. I know he will be missed by many. We wish we were able to attend the services, but are presently living in California and cannot. Prayers for the family!

We have so many good memories of Jim from when we stayed at LFUCC during Katrina recovery days.

We are very saddened by Dr. Hightower's passing. He was a wonderful person that touched so many. He will be missed. Prayers to the family.
