Not sure what to say?

We send our deepest condolences to the League family. The memories I have are when my parents (CP and Mickey Rountree), Jean and Frank Long and the Leagues all lived in Elizabeth Lakes. Also from running into each other at "Mr D's" mexican restaurant El Ranchito outside the LAFB King St gate. Some fun times. Thinking of you at this sad time.

He was a great man, always cheerful and positive. It was an honor to have known him!

Kelly, So sorry to learn of your father's passing. Wishing you and your family peace and sweet memories.

Last summer Jim would bring ice cream for Heath and Haley several times and they enjoyed it a lot. Dana and I enjoyed the sugar crash making bed time easier.

I thank the lord I had jimmy to be my uncle we had so much fun and so many good times from playing ping pong in the garage to cooking out in the back yard , Jimmy enjoyed life and made everyone around him feel good and special , when my grandmother died Jimmy and Barbara were the ones that came to Williamsburg to tell Kimberly and I, it was a tough time but I’m thankful it was Jimmy who came to see us

Buzz, Kim, and family....I am so sorry to hear of Jimmy's passing. Prayers that God will wrap His arms of comfort around each of you now and in the coming days.
