JAMES (JIM) CHARLES LARKIN
Jim had a generous heart and a calming spirit that touched us all. Along with his brilliance, wit, and sense of humor, he was a peace-maker for many. But more than all this, Jim was a devoted husband...

I'm really glad I came to Jim's memorial service. The talks by three of Jim's friends were interesting and humorous. The songs were beautiful. The reception was the best ever. It was good seeing "old" friends and chatting with them. I enjoyed sitting at the table with Shirley and their children. It was amazing seeing a granddaughter wearing Jim's army shirt that he wore when on duty in Berlin about 1954. I have fond memories of getting together with Jim, Shirley, and their friends. Have a...

Jim and I came to the district attorney´s office about the same time. Spent a lot of time fishing with Jim when he had a place on Lake Livingston and he and others from the DAs office would come to my place on Toledo Bend lake. He was a damn good administrator. Loved his dry sense of humor. Glad I got to visit with him when he sat as a visiting judge. RIP Jim.

Jim Larkin has been a good friend of ours for many years. He was one of the kindest, sweetest and funniest people you could ever know. God has truly received another angel. He will be missed by all who knew him.

Jim Larkin, quite the character. I LOVED chatting with him, hearing his stories and jokes. He sure knew how to get you going on any subject. I stopped every time he was in the yard working, listening to his views on politics, religion, travels, holidays, news. He was hilarious, witty, serious, kind hearted, humble, a fine gentleman. YOU will surely be missed. You're in a better place now, witnessing first hand, this twisted fallen world from above. No more Chronicle newspaper or FOX...

Our deepest sympathy to Shirley and family. We had the pleasure of being Mr. Larkin's neighbors. Mr. Larkin was very helpful since the first day we moved in. His advice and big smile will forever be missed.

Jim and Shirley were good friends of Melinda and myself before Melinda passed in 2007. I always enjoyed our group gatherings. I enjoyed talking to Jim about the law since he worked for the Harris County District Attorney's office. Jim was a good guy and he will be missed. We were in Dallas for their daughter's wedding on the same day that Princess Dianna was killed in an auto accident.
