I knew Jim back in the 70's when I was still in Shreveport, a 1974 graduate of Centenary. I am so sad to hear so late that he passed. I am happy to hear that Guy and Lane were pall bearers, just wish I knew so I could be there. Bob Hickman

I only knew Mr. Montgomery through the foundation grant. However, he was always a kind and polite gentleman.

Mr. Montgomery was such a wonderful, compassionate man. We are sorry for your loss. His helpful and thoughtful manner meant so much to us at the Shepherd's Farm. He will be sorely missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Beaird Foundation, and all who knew and loved him.

I looked up to Jim. He was sharp as a tack and a class act. What a great writer and person. I will truly miss him.
