James Kinsey

The Kinsey family, Berma, Vicky, San and Adam. I very much loved my close friend Jim. I have very many memories; I selected some to share with you. I want to begin with an image of Jim gently holding the arm of his mother, Mama Lane. She was erect and elegant and Jim followed. Jim was straight not only in demeanor but also in character. He was always honest and direct and also a good and loyal friend and a great scientist. He was strictly truthful and impartial and the acuity of his judgment...

We are deeply saddened to learn of Jim's death. We have treasured his friendship and will really miss him. He was a true Texas gentleman and was most kind to Michael when they both became deans at Jim's alma mater. He was a supportive and generous colleague and friend, and a brilliant scholar. Our memories of good times together will keep his spirit alive. We extend our deepest condolences to Berma, their children, and extended family. Fondly, Michael and Carolyn Carroll

Jim was my father in law. I met him on his brithday and my first date with Adam in 1991. In the time that I knew Jim, he never once made me feel anything less than a cherished and beloved part of his family. The only thing more impressive than his brilliant mind was his generous and loving spirit. All of us felt deeply loved by Jim- his children and his grandchildren. We will miss him.

Jim was a friend since ninth grade. Alway intelligent, fun, and yearning for more he amazed many. I shall miss his clever observations and comments. He shall be missed by many.
